The 2012 El Sender, a blend of 60% Garnacha, 30% Syrah and 10% Morenillo aged for six months in a mixture of new and used French oak barrels, is still extremely young and has a ripe nose of raspberry and licorice showing its youth and power. The palate is medium-bodied, with flavors of blood orange, bitter cherries and spices, pleasant and easy to drink, with good balance and a nice price tag. Drink 2015-2019.
