The 2008 Alte Reben Mataro comes from Kaesler Estate vines planted in 1930 and was matured in 1 year old French oak for 15 months. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it gives intense prune and raisin aromas with plenty of earth and Indian spice notes and an undercurrent of blackberry pie. With medium to firm, chunky tannins and medium-high acid, this is an ultra-ripe, full-bodied Mataro giving a long finish of dried fruits and fennel seed. Drink it now to 2015+.
