CURRENT VINTAGE: 2009 95% Tinto Fino, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot. ELABORATION The selected grape ferments in stainless steel deposits at 27oC for a 21 day maceration period. Subsequently the wine rests during 20 months in Central Europe oak barrels (90 %) and American oak barrels (10%). A 18 months ageing period in French wooden cones from Nevers will complete the process before the wine is bottled to spend the next 18 months maturing. WINE TASTING NOTES In the visual phase demonstrate an intense cherry-colored, very bright red color and with tall layer. In nose it is very complex, with red fruit compote highlights and mineral aromas along with evocations of Chinese ink and some spices. In mouth the sensation is very pleasant to ripe, velvety and balsamic fruit with interesting rounded and very ripe tannins of long remembrance. It is a wine with a lot of life. RECOMMENDATIONS It is a very potent Ribera del Duero wine which marries to perfection with all kind of meats, roasted meat, game and stews. It is a very interesting wine to taste with modern cuisine dishes. Serving temperature: 17o 19o C THIS IS NOT AN EVERY YEAR WINE, BUT MADE ONLY IN EXCEPTIONAL YEARS WITH DEMONSTRATED HIGH POTENTIAL AND QUALITIES TO MEET ITS LONG AGEING IN OAK BARRELS AND BOTTLE.
