The 2009 Amadis is a blend of 25% Garnacha, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Carinena, 15% Syrah and 10% Merlot, aged for one year in new French oak barrels. It shows the heat of the vintage in the shape of overripe cherries, prunes and stewed apples, with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showing better freshness than the nose, but ending quite dry. Does it need more time in bottle? Drink 2015-2019. Importer: Bradly Alan Imports, NY; tel.
