THE WINE:

The 2016 Almirez is brilliant! Made from 100% Tinta de Toro that spent 14 months in 30% new French oak, this full-bodied, concentrated 2016 is loaded with notions of blueberries, blackberries, cedar pencil, and cured meats. With terrific depth of fruit, notable purity, and a sexy, seamless style, it’s one of those knockout wines that way over-delivers!

TASTING NOTES:

Intense cherry, it offers complex aroma of rich fruit, brandy, biscuit coffee, plum and aniseed. On the palate is creamy, rich and aromatic. Very expressive and the finish leaves a pleasant memory of lightly toasted notes.

THE WINERY:
