Tech Sheet

N/A pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2014 vintage

“Deep ruby. Ripe red berries, dried cherry pit and a touch of pipe tobacco on the perfumed nose. Smoky and focused in the mouth, offering bitter cherry and rose pastille flavors sharpened by a peppery nuance. Takes a turn to darker blue fruits on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with good tenacity. Interestingly, this wine is called Tempranillo on the front label while on the back label it is referred to as Cencibel, which is an old, local name for the variety.”
