2004 Altolandon, Machuela

Nico Sanchez

Explosive Spanish wine! The nose is very loud - red and blueberry jam notes are very apparent along with some sort of creme, and a little bit of "dirtiness" to it as well. On the palate, the wine is fresh, juicy with sour cherry notes, ripe and swaying tannins, and a very long lingering finish ...+ or - evals... Distinct varietal character: +, Integration: +, Expressiveness: +, Complexity: +, Connectedness: +
