Valduero Una Cepa Premium 2011 y Copas Riedel Overture Magnum (x2)

Deep garnet to the eye, this wine has a bouquet of cassis, black plum and vanilla. A framework of plush tannins supports flavors of blackberry, black cherry and mocha, with hints of anise and mint. Well-integrated acidity and a note of spiced candied orange linger into the enduring finish. 

Huge palate, full of fruit liqueur, oatmeal cookies, dried herbs and sweet spices. Flavours go on and on. Balanced and memorable. Still youthful, too. Much promise here. Bravo!
