Tasting notes
Even better than the Dignus is the 2010 Baron de Magaña, a blend of 35% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Tempranillo and 10% Syrah from a vineyard planted in 1970 and aged 14 months in 70% new and 30% old French oak. A sensational effort, it boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as abundant notes of blackberries, crème de cassis, camphor and flowers, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, tremendous lushness and purity, and a beautifully textured, round, generous finish. This sexy, supple wine should drink well for 3-5+ years.
