Note di degustazione
100% Tempranillo. Rich dark fruit and gently perfumed, very slightly floral. But lively too with red fruit notes. Just a touch spirity. More noticeable oak on the palate. Fine dry tannins and alcohol balanced on the palate. (JH)

Inky ruby. Spicy red and dark berry aromas are complicated by smoky minerals, anise and fresh rose; smells like a great Barolo. Juicy black raspberry and cherry flavors are impressively deep and pure, taking on weight with air while maintaining focus. This hits every nook and cranny of the palate and betrays no rough edges. Spiciness builds on the finish, which is long, nervy and gently sweet.
The 2006 Pagos Viejos is sourced from Tempranillo vines over 75 years of age and aged for 18 months in new French oak. The wine is inky purple with a sublime nose of pain grille, graphite, black cherry, wild blue fruits, and blackberry. This leads to a dense, plush, remarkably elegant wine which is already exhibiting some complexity. While rich enough to be enjoyed now, it will improve for 5-7 years and be at its best from 2015 to 2030. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
