La Rioja, Spain
Beautiful wine for only $20, and 8 years old! A blend of mostly Temprenillo, and showing its age nicely; black olive, stewed dark cherries and leather, with a herbaceous quality making it fantastic for food. Medium plus tannins and acidity, and a lingering finish.
This would be stunning with Paella, but I chose italian sausage with rigatoni and a shallot, garlic, goat gouda cream sauce. I still think these guys have bang-for-your-buck mastered.
