Grape variety: 100% Tempranillo
Alcohol: 13–14% (varies slightly by batch)

Total bottles in the lot: 9 bottles

• Fill level: Excellent — all bottles with high fill levels appropriate for their age.
• Labels: Mostly in very good condition; minor age-related wear on some labels, consistent with private cellar storage.
• Capsules: All intact and original.
• Storage: Carefully kept in a private cellar with controlled temperature and darkness.
Appearance: Deep ruby color with light brick hues on the rim.
Nose: Highly expressive and evolved — black fruit compote, tobacco, cedar, spices, roasted coffee, leather and fine oak.
