Tasting notes Finca Valpiedra Reserva 2009
Colour: High intensity, cherry red colour with violet rim. Abundant leg, dense and coloured.
Nose: High intensity, with a big complexity and elegance in the aromatic nucleus, the mineral and red & black fruits showing up, incense reminiscences. All this goes together with the fine wood notes from the French oak tree, as vanilla, cedar, mild tobacco and spices.
Palate: In the initial phase in mouth, it shows an excellent smoothness and volume, developing a delicate tannic structure which makes it tasty and savoury. The freshness from the Graciano makes it more balanced concerning the alcohol, showing a very long aftertaste and a pleasant final. The aftertaste comes with spicy, fruity and wood notes.
Food Pairing: Semi-matured cheeses. Stewed red meats, roast lamb and game dishes ( roe deer). Strong stews or black beans with pork.
