This dark-ruby-colored wine offers aromas of cassis, coffee beans and smoke. A smoky note continues on the palate and is joined by black-cherry, blackberry, olive-tapenade, dark-chocolate and violet flavors. Although tannins pile on the palate and linger, a constant sense of brightness keeps them from becoming overpowering. That said, a grilled porterhouse or tomahawk steak would cut the tannins with equal vigor.
Product Description:
"Coraz de Puente del Ea 2019 is our own interpretation of the viticultural virtues of the Corazabe region, a special environment full of sandstone hills, winding paths through small woods, a rich fauna and, close by, the wild horizon of the Obarenes Mountains.
From its parcels of old vines, over 60 years old, we obtain a balanced, deep, extraordinarily fresh and lively wine.
A clear expression of the character of the highlands at the foot of the Sierra, its name, Coraz, is inspired by its place of origin, while its image reveals the wild fauna that surrounds the vineyard, from roe deer to golden eagles.
In the nose it presents a balance between fruit and wood, with touches of chocolate and spices and a balsamic point. On the palate it is round, unctuous, with well-integrated wood, an elegant bouquet and a long finish." - Winery
