The 2007 Tagonius Roble is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Syrah, Tempranillo, and Merlot aged briefly in 20% new French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it displays an alluring nose of Asian spices, incense, lavender, and assorted red fruits. Sweet, ripe, and balanced on the palate, this pleasure-bent offering will evolve for another 1-2 years and provide prime drinking from 2011 to 2019.
Bodegas Tagonius’s new collection is first-class.
