Tasting notes
(100% tempranillo) Dark purple. Dark berry and cherry liqueur aromas are complicated by cured tobacco, vanilla and sandalwood. Pliant blackberry and blueberry flavors coat the palate, with peppery spice and mineral qualities adding vivacity. Youthfully chewy but with no hard edges, becoming sweeter on the close. Leaves an intriguing sweet/tangy berry skin quality behind, with deeper echoes of vanilla and cola. Very suave wine, and delicious now.

The 2004 Parcela al Nogal is a single vineyard bottling made from 100% Tempranillo aged for 22 months in French oak. Inky purple, it offers a brooding, promising perfume of wood smoke, toast, violets, plum, and blackberry jam. It has gobs of sweet fruit, superb integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, layers of flavor, and despite its opulence, manages to be elegant at the same time. It will improve in the cellar for 5-7 years and drink well through 2030. Importer: Antalva Wine Imports, Los Angeles, CA; (310) 695-6260 www.pagodeloscapellanes.com
