This chunky red shows roasted flavors, with tobacco, dried fruit and earth. Rich but clumsy, with a gamy finish. 200 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Bierzo Select to Add

A limited cuvee of under 150 cases, named after the importer’s son, the 2003 Luna Beberide Daniel is fashioned from the winery’s finest vineyard parcels (planted at higher elevations of 2,300 and 3,000 feet). This oak-aged cuvee is a terrific example of Bierzo. A black/blue/ruby color is accompanied by a gorgeous nose of violets, blueberries, raspberries, and cherries. Elegant, with good acidity, fabulous density, and a broad, cerebral palate impression, this is a gorgeously structured, well-delineated wine to drink over the next 10-12 years.
