Altos Lanzaga 2009
The Grand Cru of the 3 wines from the village of Elciego ubder the Companio label.
Earth and mineral, layers of complexity with red fruit purity and spice on palate. No traces of oak, it is perfectly integrated. Firmly tannic and fresh acid structures are at the core of its energy and should peel back slowly and elegantly as the years go by. A powerful but also elegant expression of Tempranillo.
3,000 bottles made from 2 distinct vineyards.

Strawberry gummy bears and gram cracker on the nose... Weird I know. The palate was mouth filling with lush firm tannins. Spicy with sautéed black cherry. Acidity was light and pleasant.
