A mature blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Cabernet. We don’t often see wines of this vintage at the LCBO and certainly not at this price. Dense purple in colour, this Spanish wine has an oaky, red-berry and cedar nose, but it still retains its youthful spicy, red-cherry flavour thanks to its lively acidity.
Food match: rack of lamb or roasted chicken.
$19.95 (Vintages #269530).
