Artadi La Poza de Ballesteros 2013

Deep blackberry, incense and floral oils open the nose, with exotic spice and a smoky mineral thread running underneath. Sweet cassis and spiced blackberry fill the mid-palate, rounded out by a touch of mocha and real generational depth. What holds attention is the balance between richness and lift, generous without tipping into heaviness. Fine-grained tannins give the finish shape as it pivots toward brighter red fruit, lingering with quiet authority.
