Eguren Codice Tinto 2008
What a mouthful of fleshy, meaty, tangy and smokey fruit. A delightful texture of blueberry skin is lifted by a juicy acidity leading to subtle grilled notes. This roasty toasty Spanish red is perfect as an ole reliable stand by to bring to anybody's house, serve with just about anything, or even sip down all on its lonesome -delicious!

Expert Review
87 Points - "The deep crimson colored 2008 Codice Tinto is 100% Tempranillo aged for 6 months in tank and 6 months in French and American barriques. It sports a bouquet of cedar, spice box, black cherry, and plum. On the palate it reveals a solid core of fruit with good ripenenss, savory flavors, and a fruit filled finish. Drink it over the next 3 years."

Food Pairings
Very versatile. The better cuts of lamb. Most any meat braised or stewed. Game birds and poultry, especially duck.
