點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2183

The 2011 Ars in Vitro is Tempranillo with 10% Merlot aged for two years in concrete vats. It has a strong herbal aroma combined with notes of raisins and dried figs. The palate is medium to full-bodied with some chunky tannins, enough acidity and a slightly drying finish. This needs powerful food. Drink now-2016. Tandem is a new name in Navarra, created in 2003 in the Yerri Valley, where soils are rich in clay and their 22 hectares of vineyards are located at 600 meters altitude. The wines are moved by gravity and mature for at least two years in underground concrete vats. I didn’t have the chance to taste their top wine, the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Ars Memoria. Various US importers, including Aviva Vino, NY; Barsotti Wines, PA; and Grape Expectations, CA.

Light yet firm, this red shows good focus, with black cherry, loam, smoke and leafy flavors. Firm acidity and modest tannins impart structure. Drink now. 1,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Navarra Select to Add
