Pago de Larrainzar Navarra (Rosé)

Quite pretty black fruit. Smoky, hints of liquorice. Big, chunky weighty texture. Meaty, bold, chunky, lots of black fruit. Big and confident, although the Merlot needs some oak to fill out the mid-palate. Not an unpleasant wine. Still maintains lovely freshness and elegance despite that rich black fruit. Rather yummy.
