2006 Traslanzas Tempranillo
Meat, briar, carob-huskiness, vanilla’n’red berry skins all scattered over the smell of the poor grey soil of Cigales. Silky fruit tannin and glycerol meld perfectly, there’s a mineral tickle in there and finely judged secondary oak is politely included. A mild-mannered wine of graceful carriage and lovely detail.
