Locally known as Tinto Fino, this is a pure expression of Tempranillo from RIBERA DEL DUERO, the Wine Enthusiast 2013 “Best Region in the World”! 40+ year old vines yield wine of an intense purple color radiating aromas of dark berry fruit. Like a modern abstract painting, with broad brush strokes of flavor, full of texture and layering. Ripe berry gives way to fragrant pipe tobacco, old leather, and a smokey meatiness. Soft, mouth coating tannins on the mid-palate segue to notes of spiced plum and a dry, impressively elegant finish.
