The classical Agrelo red 2017 Brioso is a blend of 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Malbec, 22% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, matured together in brand-new French oak barrels for 15 months. It's herbal, spicy and has notes of berries and some spicy oak without excess. There is ripeness but no excess and very good freshness. There are some roasted flavors (coffee, dark chocolate) in the finish. 20,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in November 2018.

Bright ruby-red. Very pure aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, flowers, herbs and menthol; showing its oak and its Cabernet Sauvignon side today. Intense dark berry, licorice, dark chocolate and dried fig flavors show an element of medicinal minty reserve, with a touch of Cabernet Franc greenness contributing lift. Finishes with smooth, horizontal but firm tannins and terrific grip. Displaying no easy sweetness today, this very promising blend has the structure to evolve gracefully. (aged for 14 months in new barriques)
