The 2003 Canfora Reserva Especial Pie Franco is 100% Tempranillo from 70-year-old vines aged 14 months in French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple, it offers up an enticing perfume of mineral, pencil lead, incense, blueberry, and black cherry that jumps from the glass. Smooth textured with underlying ripe tannin, this flavorful, concentrated, lengthy wine has 5-7 years of aging potential. It will offer prime drinking from 2015 to 2020.
