Marques de Caceres Reserva 2005

"85% Tempranillo 15% Garnacha Tinta and Graciano selected from well exposed vineyards receiving prime sunshine with a considerable proportion of older vines that produce lower yields, resulting in greater concentration. Dark, ruby red colour. Dense bouquet combining toasted notes, tobacco and a hint of spice. Good structure with nice complexity in the mouth where mature fruit flavours give way to a touch of roasted coffee, chocolate, and sweet spice. A wine full of character that reflects its noble origin. Just like our Gran Reserva wines, the Reservas are only produced from vintages classed and 'excellent' or 'very good.' The Reservas are matured for 22 months in oak barrels from central France and for 2 years or more in bottle, depending on the date of release."

Food Pairings

A splendid bottle to marry with savoury fish dishes such as fresh tuna in spicy tomato sauce, refined delicatessen products (chorizo, salami), all kinds of beef (roasted, stewed or grilled), foie gras, duck, patridge, game and mature cheese.
