  2018 Torres Celeste Crianza Pago del Cielo (Ribera del Duero, Spain)
  This dark purple Tempranillo with garnet edging offers dried cherry and cedar on the nose. The complex flavours include raisin, fig, cocoa, roasted coffee and cinnamon. Firm yet silky tannins are not overpowering but still bully the fruit at this stage. Great length with a slightly tart tang on the finish. An Old World traditional style wine from an evolving region. Not for the Cali valley jam lovers but definitely a vino built for drinking, thinking, winking…and of course, food.
  PS You say tomato, I say eggplant parmigiana. This big bold dish went well with this big bold wine. My version of a Mediterranean diet.

  Fresh on the nose, dark berries. Medium+ body, subtile dryness leather and cherries. A little light and fresh at opening see what happens after a while.
