Tasting note

The 2009 Senorio de Los Baldios is aged in used French and American oak over 14 months. Once again, the nose deftly assimilates the oak, allowing the floral, dark plum, cassis and mineral notes to blossom in the glass. The palate has a keen citric thread that marries well with the plush cassis, blueberry and small dark cherry fruit, while the finish is focused and refined. This is another excellent, accomplished wine from Garcia de Aranda. Drink: now-2018. Score - 93. (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, Feb. 2013)

This dry garnet coloured wine features intense woody, empyreumatic, spicy and fruity scents and offers a broad texture as well as fleshy tannins.
