The 1500 H Tempranillo/Cabernet/Merlot/Pinot Noir 2010 D.O. presents a deep ruby-red colour with a subtle garnet rim, typical of its maturity. The bouquet is intense and layered, with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, cherries, cedar and a touch of vanilla. Spices such as nutmeg and clove add refined depth, while a light earthy minerality reflects the terroir of Bierzo. On the palate, the blend comes together beautifully: Tempranillo offers juicy fruit, Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure, Merlot softens with velvety tannins, and Pinot Noir adds finesse. The wine is full-bodied, supported by a perfect balance between ripe tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and opulent, with hints of dark chocolate, cedar and dried herbs that linger elegantly.
Pair with braised leg of lamb, game dishes, or hard cheeses such as Manchego.
