Finca Allende "Calvario" Rioja 2001

Red/purple.

Vinturi - smoky/toasty oak, fig, earth and reticent black pepper on the nose.

Very interesting in the mouth - oak char and a sour green character. Not sure if this bottle is off. Certainly not expressing much at the moment - green acid edge cuts everything off at the knees.


$70. 100% Tempranillo from a vineyard planted in 1945.
