Description

Intense cherry red color, with garnet tones. Powerful aroma of ripe fruit with mineral nuances, its complexity is completed by touches of toffee from its passage through the barrel. Fat and volume entry, which accompanies us until the end, we perceive the structure being long and persistent. Memories of licorice, fruit and coffee.

The 2008 Nebro is born from pure 90-year-old Tinto Fino vines that neighbor the vines of Vega Sicilia and were apparently originally used for Flor de Pingus. It has that signature floral bouquet with dark berry and licorice-tinged fruit with hints of orange blossom. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, dark berry fruit laced with mocha and dark chocolate. It has a broody introspection about it toward the finish, leaving you with the impression that this is not a wine that is simply going to hand you everything on a plate. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. Drink now-2020.
