2008 / Bodegas Nekeas / El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa / Garnacha / Navarra / Spain / Red Wine
Made from vines reportedly ranging from 60 to 100 years of age) Inky ruby. Exotically perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry compote, licorice and dark chocolate, plus a sexy floral overtone. Fresh, focused red and dark berry flavors are given depth by a note of bitter chocolate and framed by silky tannins. Finishes with very good clarity and mineral snap, with the black raspberry note repeating. Year in and out this is a superb value.
