Abadia Retuerta Seleccion Especial Sardon de Duero 2015
(Spain: Castilla Y Leon) # 2839

Name Abadia Retuerta Seleccion Especial Sardon de Duero 2015
Varietal Red Blend
Region Spain: Castilla Y Leon
Notes "The value among the reds is the 2015 Selección Especial, a blend of 66% Tempranillo, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah and 2% Merlot. It opened up spectacularly as it sat in the glass; it took some time to get focused, and some early lactic notes disappeared to give way to ripe fruit without excess, licorice and even a floral touch. It's nicely crafted and balanced, combining power and elegance. It kept developing and unfurling nice aromas as it sat in the glass, tangerine peel, tonka beans, sweet spices... Great complexity for the price." (Wine Advocate)
