Tasting notes
The 2003 Coleccion Privada is 100% Tempranillo sourced from two 50-year-old vineyards. The wine was barrel fermented and aged for 18 months in new oak, equal parts French and American and bottled unfiltered. Purple colored, it exhibits complex aromas of earth, mushroom, pain grille, cinnamon, black currants and blackberry liqueur. On the palate the wine comes off as monolithic but powerful, with plenty of depth and flavor. The wine would benefit from several years in the cellar and should drink well through 2020.

Deep red. Restrained, elegant aromas of redcurrant, strawberry and cherry. Then sweeter and denser in the mouth than the nose suggests, with strong blackcurrant and cherry flavors nicely complemented by sexy oak spice and a subtle mineral quality. Finishes chewy, powerful and rich, with a full, broad expression of sweet dark fruits. This is delicious.
