Campo Viejo Reserva Rioja 2006
Tempranillo
from Rioja, Spain
winemaker's notes:
This wine is ruby red with a gold rim. Bright, deep with a complex nose. One the fruit side, the sum of the sensations of the varieties make up its composition: jammy red fruit, cherries, black plums and also raspberries and blackberries. Its time in the barrel provides cloves, liquorice, pepper, vanilla, coconut…blended and highlighted by the aromas produced during bottle ageing.
On the palate, it has a smooth, balanced attack, elegant and full-bodied, with a long lingering finish in which cocoa and coffee come through.
Delicious with red meat, game, roasts, mature and blue-vein cheeses.
