Deep garnet colored with medium viscosity (14% ABV). The nose of this Tempranillo has medium (+) intensity aromas of vanilla, coconut, back plum, black cherry, tobacco, dust, cassis, Maduro wrapper, mint, dried green herbs, dried orange peel and blueberry compote. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body and medium (+) tannins that are chalky. Flavors of black plum, black cherry, cassis, coconut, vanilla, baking spice, dusty earth, mint and tobacco persist to a long finish. I’m impressed with this wine’s complexity and balance- 92 points from me and 5 stars since it runs $23. I believe it has great cellaring potential, till 2033 but is drinking beautifully now. Pairing tonight with Shish Kebabs. Salut….
