The 1998 Anciano “Aged 10 Years” is 100% Tempranillo matured in French and American barriques. Dark ruby-colored with a brick rim, it offers up an expressive bouquet of vanilla, earth notes, leather, spice box, and blackberry. This leads to a medium-bodied wine with notes of licorice, espresso, and fruit compote emerging on the palate. Quite rich and full-flavored, this elegant effort will drink well over the next four years. Importer: Well Oiled Wine Company, Leesburg, VA; tel. (703) 771-6300
