Abadia Retuerta, Valladolid, Spain

Click here for more info: http://www.abadia-retuerta.com/ This wine has a colour that is both intense and dense at the same time. Aromas of cherries soaked in liquor and prunes, balsamic and spicy. In the mouth, it is initially smooth, becoming fleshier in the middle of the palate. A finish with the firm tannins from the 2001 vintage blended with a fruit and floral explosion. It has a very long and powerful finish. |

Abadia Retuerta, Valladolid, Spain
 |

A smooth attack, with structure and blended tannins. Incredibly aromatic on the palate, expressive and fresh. In the mouth it offers three times the intensity than it does in the nose. Easy and nice finish. A very delicate and pleasant wine. |
