Bodegas San Prudencio Depadre 2009

Bright violet color. Intensely perfumed, heady aromas of candied dark berries, cola, incense and floral oils, with suave vanilla and star anise notes adding complexity. Stains the palate with sweet blackberry and cherry compote flavors of excellent depth and clarity. Fine-grained tannins add shape and grip to the impressively long, floral finish. Score - 93.
