The 2009 Parfum de Sonsierra, as its name suggests, comes in a striking cubic bottle designed by fashion designer David Delfin, which is a little confusing! Aged for 17 months in new French oak, this pure Tempranillo from vines located at 590 meters above sea level, has a simple, oaky, strawberry and licorice-scented bouquet with hints of vanilla. The palate is balanced with ripe mulberry and sweet cassis fruit on the entry. Indeed, it has a rather “confectionary” like sweetness with touches of star anis and blackberry pastilles.
