Baron de Ley Varietales Maturana 2014
Rioja, SpainThe indigenous maturana grape grown at Finca AlegrÃa, the first major planting in the Rioja appellation, is the story here. It spends 12 months in French oak which makes it more French oak then maturana, and frankly a little New World in style. Expect rich black fruits flecked with spice and somehow all through all that, a touch of minerality. The textures are round and lush with plenty of fine-grained tannins and more oak to shed. Best with lamb today or another two to three years in bottle.Tasted: 10 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
