The 2004 Campo Eliseo is opaque purple with a fragrant bouquet of wood smoke, spice box, mineral, black cherry and blackberry that jumps from the glass. This leads to a full-bodied, dense, opulent wine with layers of flavor and emerging complexity. The wine has firm underlying structure and should evolve effortlessly for 5-7 years. It will provide pleasure through 2035.
Campo Eliseo, produced by J. & F. Lurton, is 100% Tinta de Toro sourced from low yielding vineyards averaging 40 years of age. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation in French oak and is then aged for 18 months before being bottled without filtration. A total of 1600 cases were produced in both 2004 and 2005.
