Anciano Tempranillo Gran Reserva '05

This spanish tempranillo is from the Valdepenas DO, a classic continental region with cold winters and long hot, dry summers.

Tasting notes:
An intense dark red shading to brick red at the rim, its range of characteristics can be identified on the nose – black cherry fruit, spicy notes of leather and musk, tobacco and vanilla oak. Medium to full bodied with some finesse, concentrated red fruit compote flavours and smooth, mellow tannins on the finish.

Pairs with game, roast beef and other grilled red meats, rich vegetarian dishes and mature cheeses.
