(At Landa Palace, Burgos) A very nice wine - not too overpriced, despite the markup and lack of vintages on the wine list(!). Would be an excellent value elsewhere.

Dark and dense burgundy in color, absolutely consistent to the rim. Fabulous floral and red cherry bouquet that leaps out the glass and into my nose. Very well integrated aromas that seems allude to its oaky interior without hitting over the head by a 2x4. Silky, fine tannins support a crisp and vibrant acidity right on the tip of my tongue, slowly fading into a gentle wave of cranberry, spice box and gooseberry flavors. Medium bodied and bold, this wine speaks of meaty incarnations like grilled chicken, lamb chops or even a nice, slightly charred salmon. 4/5
