Tasting notes
Bright ruby-red. Alluring, slightly gamey scents of blackberry, black olive and musky minerality plus an iron-like blood note. Wonderfully sweet and fine-grained but with lovely integrated acidity and underlying minerality energizing the wine's dark berry fruit. Has the stuffing to support its serious dusting of tannins, which spread out to saturate the palate.

The 2014 Camaspelo is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (there's a splash of Tempranillo). It offers lots of red and chocolate-covered black currants, black cherry, black olive, tobacco and leafy herbs. It shows more fruit with time in the glass, has a full-bodied, ultra-pure, layered style and plenty of fine tannin. Forget bottles for 4-5 years and drink over the following two decades.
