2022 Aylesbury Estate Q06 Tempranillo

A rich, chewy Tempranillo with a muscular feel and deeply fruited yet grippy finish.

Dense inky black core with a dark red black tinged hue. Intense black cherry and liquorice aromas flood the olfactory senses with some vanillin cedar, scorched earth and spice notes also chiming in. Rich and chewy the mouth is engulfed with aniseed and black cherry flavours which are framed by a robust tannin structure. Inky earth, vanillin cedar and spice elements tail off through the back half. Muscular feel with a deeply fruited yet grippy finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
This ever-popular Spanish variety might be a long way from home, here we have an example from the Ferguson Valley in the West, but it is making the most of it. Delicious wine in a deep purple maroon. The aromas weave through chocolate notes, warm earth, cherries, herbs, leather and roasted meats. There is serious concentration and bright acidity here with quite saturated flavours. Very good length and a touch of exuberance throughout, this should provide fine drinking over the next four to six years. A fine Temp. Drink 2024-2030.
