The color of blackberry pie filling, this wine offers a bouquet of black cherry, cassis and clove. Opulent tannins provide a framework for cherry, blackberry, nutmeg, dark chocolate and coffee bean flavors with a hint of olive tapenade. The lengthy finish is marked with a note of caramel. An antidote to fresh, easy-drinking Monastrell, this is one to lay down and savor in a few years. Drink through 2031.

The impressive 2017 Elo is varietal, rich and powerful but polished and with a rustic elegance. It's a bit older, so it has some developed and tertiary aromas, and the tannins are mostly resolved. It has a chalky texture and a long finish.
