Color
The wine shows a rich purple colour with a violet rim and an opaque core, clear and shiny in the glass.
Nose
The darkest and ripest blackberries, black cherries, and sloes have gathered in this cuvée of primarily Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon to indulge in a 75 percent dark chocolate fango. Also in the mix are roasted hazelnuts, rye and black truffle. After the bath, there are a few rum grapes and then a rich piece of red meat with black pepper and barbecue sauce from the heated, smoky beech wood fire....
Palate
The 2018 El Corralón from Jiménez-Landi is rich, expressive, dark and full of character on the palate. At the same time, it is nevertheless inspired by juicy red berry freshness. A berry-fruity beginning leads to a broad-shouldered appearance with dense and substantial tannin. The powerful and fleshy wine from is not for light wine drinkers and copes well with the fact that he now and then accompanies no food, but a Cohiba.
