The 2006 Arrocal Angel is 100% Tinto Fino sourced from a single organically farmed 70-year-old vineyard and aged for 20 months in new French oak. Only the top 8 barrels were chosen for this cuvee. Saturated purple in color, it gives up a compelling nose of wood smoke, pencil lead, espresso, truffle, and assorted black fruits. Dense, rich, and opulent on the palate, this full-bodied offering will evolve for another 4-6 years with a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2026.
