The 2007 Cyclo is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Blanca del Pais sourced from 3 vineyards ranging in age from 75-150 years. The Blanca del Pais was co-fermented with the Tempranillo. In total, 20% of the wine was aged in cement tank with 80% aged for 24 months in French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it proffers a compelling nose of smoke, pencil lead, incense, Asian spices, lavender, and blackberry. Suave and succulent on the palate, it admirably combines elegance and power along with impeccable balance and a 45-second finish. Cellar it for a minimum of 5 years and drink it from 2015 to 2027.
Bodegas Finca Torremilanos is well known for its red wines but it also makes a very fine Cava.
