Gran Reserva Viñedos de Elciego Tempranillo

Tobacco and earth, leather and wood. Sharp and acidic, still could use some time. A bit stale, like a story that’s been told before. This is your grandfather’s armchair.

Smokey raisins, smooth, medium finish.

@ Vista Hills

Excellent wine

Smells deep and woody; I taste earthiness, wood, and tobacco, with maybe dark cherry. Not too acidic, smooth and balanced

Acid overpowers fruit. Not much tannin. 2005 vintage
