Vincente Gandia 2010 Hoya de Cadenas Reserva Tempranillo 750ml

An aromatic red wine that gives way to notes of rose petal and blackberry on the nose. Deep ruby red in color with a subtle plummy hue in the glass, the opening palate is velvety with fresh tannins bouncing off of plum, vanilla and raspberry. Mid-palate hints of cracked spice, leather and cold gravel mineral notes add to the structure nicely. Towards the close, the wine continues to grow on the palate with more spice, red currant and damp earth. The finish is medium-long and tapers away as a quality Tempranillo does with lingering spice.
