Graciano (Tierra de Castilla)

Dark black at the core, this brooding wine has a deep, cherry-colored rim. Very reserved on the nose, it shows little more than coal and peat. The palate, however, is surprisingly fruit-driven, with tart blackberries and crunchy blackcurrants. While there’s a big hit of flavor on the front palate, the finish is fast, though nicely minerally. Perky acidity and lightly stringing tannins give plenty of structural support and make this a wine best served with rich dishes. Drink now–2018.
