Nuestra Soledad San Luis del Rio Review
Barbecue and dark chocolate meet leather and smoke in this Espadín expression. There is a lot of depth and complexity here, but it’s presented in a balanced way. On the nose, you’re greeted with mild, clean smoke. The palate is smooth with a nice intensity of flavor and subtle hints of fruit to round it out. All of this makes for a decadent bottle that is perfect for sipping.
