96 rating Wine Spectator
“Full-bodied and dense with flavor, this big red is a gentle powerhouse, remaining plush and approachable, with currant, quince, tangerine, cola and vanilla flavors, supported by well-integrated tannins and bright, citrusy acidity. Harmonious and complete, this delivers a successful blend of traditional and modern styles. Drink now through 2035. 1,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.” — TM

Description

“Intense and bright cherry-red colour. Elegant and layered nose, with a bouquet that combines ripe red fruit, blackberries, hints of pastries and balsamic aromas (fennel, liquorice). Smoked wood and spice (nutmeg and cinnamon) from its aging in oak. Also appreciated are the earthy and mineral notes characteristic of all the wines made from grapes sourced from the Viña Lanciano estate. Structured, its powerful and fleshy mouthfeel gives way to a long and persistent finish.” – From the WineryVINEYARDS:
