Vinedos del Jorco El Jorco 2017

Dark cherry and wild blueberry open things up, then smoke and baking spice emerge with air, a satisfying evolution that signals something serious. Bitter cherry and cassis lead on the palate, taut and well-defined, with the smoky thread softening toward a sweeter core through the mid-palate. Firm, gripping tannins anchor a long finish where the cherry fruit holds steady. Still wound tight, this Gredos Garnacha has more to give with three to five years in the cellar.
