The Tapas Wine Collection 2013 Old Vine

Garnacha (Navarra)

Deeply colored, with a licorice-like core and a moderate raspberry rim, this wine’s nose dances nicely between sweet spice, mulled wine and forest floor. It’s a compelling trio of fresh, evolving and evolved. The palate is sure to be divisive among wine geeks as there is just enough funky character to land the overall impression in the Band-Aid category. Otherwise, the wine is smartly balanced by buoyant acidity and mouth-coating but well-managed tannins. Drink now through 2017.
