Casar de Burbia Tebaida 2008

The 2008 Tebaida was aged in new French oak for 15 months. It gives up a brooding, slightly reticent, lightly roasted bouquet of Asian spices, incense, mineral, beef blood, and assorted black fruits. More structured than the Hombros cuvee, it will evolve for 3-4 years and offer optimum drinking from 2014 to 2023. Score - 92. (Jay Miller, erobertparker.com, June 2011)
