The 2006 Mirto is 100% Tempranillo sourced from vineyards over 70 years of age. It spent 24 months in French oak before bottling without filtration. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it proffers a brooding bouquet of pain grille, espresso, licorice, lavender, and blackberry. On the palate it has layers of fruit bordering on opulent with outstanding volume and concentration. This dense, lengthy effort has 4-6 years of aging potential and will be at its best from 2014 to 2026. Importer: W.J. Deutsch & Sons; www.wjdeutsch.com
