FINCA LA EMPERATRIZ Tinto 2018 (750ml)

FINCA LA EMPERATRIZ Tinto 2018 (750ml)Variety: Tempranillo Garnacha Viura. Tasting notes: Deep ruby colour. Markedly spicy on the nose (black pepper, cumin and even a sweet touch of cinnamon) which contracts with the sobriety of the fruit and some subtle meaty notes that impart character. A savoury wine with tension on the palate and firm tannins. A naked, pure, and direct expression of the estate's terroir with the hallmarks of a red wine suitable for ageing.

very drinkable

herbaceous Italian favourites

it starts a little subdued but as it warms it reveals expanses of sweet

raspberry pastille aromas with herb garden star anise notes

the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape was brought up in a mix of foudre and older barrels

the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to fully come together

then long and supple

Pale with golden touches

soft tannins and a juicy

poise and tension that will captivate you until the very last drop

the must is then clarified and chilled in terms of avoiding the oxidation
