The Martelo is more modern. It needs some air - it is advisable to open the wine about half an hour before enjoying it. This develops a rich scent of fresh wild berries, plums, blackberries, a touch of iron, vanilla and cloves. The Martelo is creamy on the palate and dresses the mouth with velvety plums, blackberry jelly, some liquorice and ripe black currants in the finish. The characteristic acid structure gives the wine a fine balance and refreshing lightness. The Martelo is characterized by its rich fruit. A balanced, creamy and prancing Rioja with great freshness, rich fruit and silky tannins.
