Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Deep cherry with garnet rim, its aromas are expressive and intense, with notes of red-berry and black fruits, spicy and soft smoky notes caused by the barrel ageing. In mouth it’s lush, with a balanced freshness of great character and typicality. Luzon's Icon wines are selected from exclusive vineyards and vines with a long history and low yields. Meticulous winemaking takes its time to reach the best outcome: wines with special and unique qualities. "A pure beam of black cherry sauce shines in this harmonious, round red, which finds fine balance thanks to orange peel acidity and fine, trim tannins. Lush accents of chocolate, vanilla, sandalwood and licorice echo on the finish. Monastrell and Syrah. Drink now through 2030." -Wine Spectator. "Rich and heavy red with roasted strawberries, coffee, mint chocolate, cassis and black beans on the nose. Ripe, toasty and plump with creamy tannins and a full body. 80% monastrell and 20% syrah. Drink now or hold." -James Suckling. Varietal: 80% Monastrell, 20% Syrah.
