This red is rich, yet remains lively, with bright berry and tangerine flavors mingling with currant, cocoa and toasty notes. Well-integrated tannins and citrusy acidity support the plush texture. Vibrant, in the modern style.

I found the 2014 Numanthia to be quite oaky and a little underwined for the élevage it had. It's overtly tannic and leaves the mouth and tongue with a sandpaper-like feeling. It finishes dry. Lay down or have with powerful food. It's high in alcohol and has moderate acidity, which increases the heavy sensation and palate fatigue. For fans of the style.
