Anciano Tempranillo

Anciano
Gran Reserva
Tempranillo
Valdepenas
2004
$13.95

Anciano wines are matured for years in cellars stacked floor to ceiling with oak barrels.  This slow, controlled maturation guarantees the perfect balance between ripe fruit and mellow oak character.  Great things come with age!

My review: I tasted this wine right after the Pinot Noir that I liked so much, so I was not as impressed by this wine.  When the review says mellow, it meant mellow.  I could almost have this distinct taste of alcohol which I really didn't like because it meant that the wine did not go down very easy for me.

I did not have it with food.
