The 2006 Torremilanos is 100% Tempranillo from younger vines that spent 23 months in French oak. Purple in color, it exhibits an already complex bouquet of cigar box, violets, mineral, espresso, and blackberry. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant wine with serious depth and concentration. The wine’s savory black fruits, earth notes, and spice linger for over 30 seconds. Give this outstanding effort another 2-3 years of bottle age and drink it from 2012 to 2021.
Bodegas Finca Torremilanos is well known for its red wines but it also makes a very fine Cava.
