One for the Cellar

El Regajal SelleciĆ³n Especial Vinos de Madrid, Spain
Elegant and bright berry and cherry aromatics give way to supple and silky, mouthfilling, juicy tannins. Tempranillo provides a firm base with hints of rose petal amongst the red fruit flavors. Cabernet Sauvignon lends elegant heft, with it’s contribution of soft currant and lush texture. Merlot and Syrah add the telltale hints of plum, spice, and faint black pepperiness. Heck of a wine, and exotic. Balanced acidity and ample fruit to drink tonight, or cellar for ten years or more provided it’s in a cool cellar. New world Spanish red with old world charm and elegance. Ripeness and finesse all in one? You Betcha!
And the label looks cool...
