Watkins Iron-Fire Tempranillo 2021

Of this trio of Watkins wines, this delicious Tempranillo is my personal favourite. A dark maroon hue, the nose gives us notes of leather, coffee grinds, chocolate, spices, delicatessen meats, bacon fat and black fruits. There is good balance here, and sleek tannins and the wine has excellent length. Juicy acidity accentuates the freshness. A thoroughly enjoyable and impressive Tempranillo for drinking any time over the next six to eight years.
