Valdelosfrailes Vendimia Seleccionada 2006

"The 2006 Val de los Frailes Vendimia Seleccionada comes from the Pago de Terron Blanco vineyard and sees 12 months in barrel (80% American and 20% French). It has a ripe, rounded, clean, quite seductive bouquet of dark cherries, blueberry jam and just a touch of licorice. It is well-defined and unfurls nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, rounded entry. It shows good weight but seems slightly over-extracted, rendering the finish a little “blocky” and needing more delineation. There is also a jarring metallic tincture on the aftertaste. Drink now-2015."
