NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Atalaya La Atalaya Almansa is a deep and intense Tempranillo-based blend of Garnacha and Monastrell.On the nose, it displays ripe blackberry and raspberry aromas, along with some herbal and spice notes. On the palate, it is bold and full-bodied, with ripe and juicy fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish. Enjoy this robust red now or cellar it for a few years to enjoy its complexity.
