This wine is more than a decade old and has developed a great deal of elegance and finesse. It is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 24 months in French and American oak followed by 5 years in bottle before being released. The wine colour is darker than I expected, very generous aromas of ripe fruit, plums, raisin, sweet spices and vanilla oak. The mouthfeel is lively and fresh with silky smooth tannins. This wine finish is smooth and very enjoyable. Great wine here at a fantastic value, strongly recommended.
This wine was purchased on July 5th, 2011 at the SAQ for $28.55
