The flagship 2005 Valtuille Cepas Centenarias includes some pre-phylloxera Mencia vines in the mix. Approximately 30% of the wine was aged in new Burgundy barrels. It exhibits a distinguished nose of toasty oak, spice box, mineral, saddle leather, black cherry, and plum. Layered, intense, and concentrated, it will evolve for 3-5 years and provide much pleasure through 2020.
