Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, flinty spice, floral and oak for this Tempranillo. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry & plum with hints of espresso, cacao and licorice wrapped in earthy oak. Firm tannins, still grippy, great old world balance with acidity, full body, long finish ends with fruit, oak, spice, and earthy mineral character. Just outstanding, needs more time!

Just arrived from the east coast, I’ll let the other bottle rest a bit. Still a little bottle shock from shipping on this one obviously

Beautiful wine. Give it an hour of air and it’s ready to rock already.

Extended age Tempranillo always a winner. Paired well with lasagna.
