Vina Magana Dignus 2009

50% Tempranillo, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Monate in Barriques aus französischer Eiche ausgebaut.

Alkoholgehalt: 14,5 Vol.%

Warmes, dunkles Purpurrot im Glas, dicke Kirchenfenster. Das Bukett tempranillobetont, dichter Duft nach Himbeeren, Brombeeren, schwarzen Johannisbeeren, mediterrane Kräuter, Vanille, Tabak, schöne Schnüffelnase! Am Gaumen konzentriert und tiefgründig. Vielschichtige Frucht, feine balsamische Noten und mineralische Anklänge. Das Tannin ist sehr gut eingebunden und samtig. Sehr langes, anhaltendes, fruchtbetontes Finale. Große Klasse in diesem Segment. Trinkreife 2014-2018.

91 Punkte Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #208 Aug 2013: "The 2009 Dignus (50% Tempranillo, 25% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon) also exhibits a Pomerol-like perfume of mocha, black cherries, mulberries and cola. There is lots of richness, sweet, well-integrated tannins, full body and a hefty, lush mouthfeel. It should continue to drink beautifully for another 4-5 years."
