it still has fine balance and freshness - and don't be fooled by the impression of sweetness

The Palate is full of ripe fruits and a medley of complex spices integrated oak that leads to a velvety long finish

De Martino, Cellar Collection Old Vine Carignan 'La Aguada', 2010 Spain banoffee pie and pineappleFrom a low yielding, dry farmed old vineyard, planted in 1955, this wine is a 'field blend,' composed principally of Carignan, with a little Cinsault and Malbec, all grown on bush vines. It has awesome complexity and attractively mature aromas of fragrant cedar wood, brambly fruit and black pepper. In the mouth, there is lovely, supple tannin and a sense of fresh vibrancy, in spite of its maturity. It has a beautifully sustained, lingering finish.
