The 2006 Libranza is 100% Tempranillo from 120-year-old vines aged for 14 months in French oak. A glass coating opaque purple color, it has a similar roasted herb note along with pencil lead, licorice, espresso, lavender, black cherry, and blackberry aromas. More structured, with 4-6 years of cellaring potential, it has huge volume, great concentration, succulent fruit, and a totally pleasure-bent personality. This full-bodied, buxom beauty promises to drink well from 2014 to 2031, perhaps longer. Bodegas Matarredonda’s two new releases are first-class.

Lovely spicy, berry fruit on the nose. Fine balance between fruit, spice, tannin and acid.
