Tasting notes
Deep, shimmering ruby-red. Lively, smoke- and mineral-accented cherry and red berry scents on the perfumed nose. Vibrant, appealingly sweet red and blue fruit flavors show fine definition and take on rose pastille and mocha nuances with air. Fleshy and densely packed but energetic as well, finishing very long and smooth, with a repeating cherry note and harmonious tannins.

Cubillo is a very focused and quite crisp style of red that has spent three years in barrique and then in larger cask to wait for bottling, which happens two years before the expected release. The richness and depth of complex dried wood and spice here is seamlessly sewn into the dried red and dark cherries. The palate is pinned around a fresh-blackberry core that marries still sweet fruit to more savory style. Long and balanced. The tannins are fine yet assertive. It freshens into the finish nicely. Drink or hold.
The 2010 Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza is superb and shows great depth and nuance, with great freshness, and the red cherries are complemented by notes of blood oranges, nutmeg and other spices. It has a soft and harmonious palate, with great balance and very good freshness. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2017.
