The 2006 Cenit was sourced from the estate's ungrafted old-vines (60 to 100 years) and aged for 18 months in new oak. It reveals an enticing perfume of pain grille, mineral, incense, earth notes, and blackberry. Firmly structured, mouth-filling, and full-flavored, this concentrated effort will benefit from several additional years of cellaring and will drink well through 2021. Vina del Cenit lies just outside the boundary of the Toro DO.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
