The 2008 Tebaida was aged in new French oak for 15 months. It gives up a brooding, slightly reticent, lightly roasted bouquet of Asian spices, incense, mineral, beef blood, and assorted black fruits. More structured than the Hombros cuvee, it will evolve for 3-4 years and offer optimum drinking from 2014 to 2023. All of the Casar de Burbia wines are 100% Mencia that went through malolactic fermentation in barrel.Importer: Steve Metzler, Bonafide Wine Estates, Seattle, WA; Tel. (206) 297-6713
