Marqués de Cáceres 2005 MC (Rioja)

Country: Spain / MC
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Marqués de Cáceres / Rioja

Inky dark, with deep berry, sandalwood and sawmill aromas. Color and potency are not lacking in this modern-styled Tempranillo, which hits like a hammer. Feelwise, this is a tough, angular wine that will benefit from another year or two of aging. Now it’s very tight and tannic, with piercing acidity.
