The 2006 Anastasio is 100% Tempranillo that spent 8 months in oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it reveals a super-expressive, kinky bouquet of sandalwood, Asian spices, incense, lavender, and wild black berries. Layered and opulent on the palate while maintaining a sense of elegance, this impeccably balanced offering is approachable now but will deliver much pleasure for another 20 years.
