Cune 2005 Vina Real Crianza - Tempranillo Red Wine

Red Wine by Cune from Rioja, Spain. Blend: 90% Tempranillo, 10% between Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha Full, morello cherry, ruby red, good intensity. Ripe autumn red and purple fruit, raspberries, damsons and sloes over a fine toasty vanilla complexity. Rich, deep and balanced. Well structured on the palate with plenty of fine, lingering rich fruit and a lively note of tannin. The finish is elegant and long with good balancing acidity. Layers of fruit and earthen flavor give this wine more depth and complexity than most crianzas. The velvet texture combines tarry tannin and mineral edges of acidity that need bottle age to fully integrate. The kirsch and dried fruit scents ride above it. Wine & Spirits
