The 2008 Eternum Viti Los Colmillos is also 100% Tinta de Toro from a vineyard, according to records, planted in 1950. However, there is good reason to believe that it was actually planted in the 1870s. The wine went through ML in new French oak followed by 16 months of aging in barrel. A glass-staining opaque purple color, it delivers a compelling aromatic array of sandalwood, incense, truffle, licorice, and lightly roasted black fruits. Full-bodied and powerful on the palate, the wine is layered, dense, and filled with black fruit flavors, spice notes, and licorice. It will evolve for 5-7 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2028. In the scheme of things it is a great value in serious red wine. The DO Terra Alta wines represent a new project for Bodegas Abanico. Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; www.grapesofspain.com
