The 2009 Manga del Brujo is composed of 65% Garnacha, 15% Tempranillo, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mazuelo in which 50% of the wine was aged for 6 months in a mix of new and used barrels. It offers up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, game, violets, and assorted black fruits. This is followed by an incipiently complex, ripe, layered wine with 1-2 years of aging potential. This nicely proportioned effort will provide prime drinking from 2013 to 2019.
