2016 Castilla Armado Reserva Tempranillo
An old-school Spanish classic, this Tempranillo shows off the benefits of both time in barrel and time in bottle. 2016 vintage. Reserva. Aromas of dried cherry, black plum, and fig unfurl alongside warm notes of cedar, vanilla, and sweet tobacco. Hints of leather, clove and spice to add complexity.
On the palate, it’s juicy yet structured, with fine-grained tannins and a gentle acidity that keeps the richness in check. Flavours of berry compôte and christmas cake lead into a savoury, evolved finish with a touch of cocoa and sandalwood.
Elegant, layered, complex, this is an old world classic red with depth, warmth and a confident sense of place. Served at a number of our favourite Auckland restaurants. This wine is full of soul.
