2005 Monte Vide Eu

Only 2000 bottles produced of this blend. Most of the grapes come from the vineyard in Las Violetas but some of the Tannat is from the vineyard in Melilla, next to the winery. Herbal violets, very fresh red fruits, then intense fresh and perfumed deep black fruit. Lovely depth of sweet fruit and tannins. Peppery and expressive. Elegant and exceptional.
