The 2005 Muduresa is a blend of the nearly extinct Mando, Monastrell, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot aged for 12 months in French oak. Purple-colored, the wine delivers an enticing nose of cedar, smoke, leather, mineral, blueberry, and blackberry. This leads to a firm, structured, flavorful wine with 3-4 years of aging potential. Balanced, spicy, and with very good length, it will be at its best from 2012 to 2020. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
