2010 Anima Negra

The 2010 AN is supremely well defined on the nose with raspberry, red currant and cranberry vying for attention. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, great purity and a succulent, tensile finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a beautiful, svelte, sensual wine. Drink now-2018. Anima Negra was established in 1994 by Pere Ignasi Obrador, Miquel Angel Cerda and Frances Grimault. They began modestly, using milk tanks from an old dairy farm and purchasing locally grown Callet grapes from farmers. Now, they source fruit from 135 selected parcels within six miles of the winery, the vines are all dry-farmed, and are between 50 and 85 years in age. Along with “4 Kilos,” they prove that holiday-goers in Mallorca should spend less time soaking up rays on the beach and more time seeking out its wines. Importer: Winebow; www.winebow.com
