Suertes del Marqués 7 Fuentes 2016

Tenerife, Canary Islands, SpainFrom Tenerife's volcanic soils, and hundred year old ungrafted listan negro (with ten percent tintilla), this singular wine spent eight months between concrete and neutral French oak. Medium bodied and dusky in hue, this opens with light smoke, wild raspberry, tobacco, thorns, herbal scrub and a wave of fine pink peppercorns that season a lightly muddied, authentic core. Acidity is lofty, and though slight at 13 degrees, this displays a confidence and maturity that makes it imminently charming. Amazing value.Tasted: 22 January 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
