The 2018 El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto has riper aromas than I expected, even though the palate shows more restraint. It's a blend of 88% Tempranillo, 9% Garnacha, 2% Graciano and 1% Maturana Tinta fermented in stainless steel and matured in American and French oak barrels for 12 months. The palate is medium to full-bodied with fine tannins and with ripe flavors in the finish. 161,000 bottles and 8,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2020.
