Tasting notes
Deep violet. Aromas of dark berries, licorice and peppery spices; a floral nuance builds in the glass. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering gently sweet black raspberry and cherry cola flavors and a touch of bitter chocolate. Finishes supple and long, with subtle tannins and a repeating tobacco note.

Aromas and flavors of blueberries and black licorice here. Full body. Integrated tannins give the wine form, but donât impose too much. Better in 2021.
From sandy, chalky soils, (these grapes previously went into Flor de Pingus), the 2017 Pruno is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 12 months in used barrels. It offers loads of blackberries, black raspberries, toasted spice, and hints of oak as well as some graphite in a ripe, concentrated yet pure style. It’s a beautiful wine, developing a touch of minerality with time in the glass, and has both richness and freshness.
