Finca Allende, Gaminde Size:6x750ml the presence of slightly forward

the presence of slightly forward aromas leads me to believe it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later

the 2004 is built on a core of serious power

all wrapped in a slightly finer and longer finish where a touch of minerality adds a touch of elegance to the moderately austere backend

Finca Allende, Gaminde Size:6x750ml the presence of slightly forwardThe nose of the 2016 Gaminde is creamy, balsamic and spicy, with plenty of new oak undertones and ripe fruit without excess. This is a clean, modern, generously oaked Tempranillo, with plenty of tannins and oak related flavors, and it needs a couple of years in bottle to digest the wood. It's nicely structured and shows power with balance in its style. 12,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2018.
