2010 Hermanos Pecina Finca Iscorta de Peciña Gran Reserva [WA94][JS90][WS90]

"The 2010 Finca Iscorta De Peciña Gran Reserva is their usual blend of Tempranillo with 3% Garnacha and 2% Graciano, sourced from 50-year-old vines from their Finca Iscorta vineyard in the Sonsierra zone; therefore, it is a single-vineyard bottling. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in well-seasoned American oak barrels for 48 months with manual and gravity rackings every six months. This feels very harmonious, combining some primary notes with more-developed tertiary aromas. The palate also reveals a rare mix of power and elegance that only the very best vintages are capable of. It has polished tannins, good volume, freshness and length. Drink or hold, there should be no rush." 

"There’s a wealth of rich, dark and ripe fruit on offer here with dark plums and plenty of baking spices. Some tarry notes, too. The palate has density and weight, delivering rich ripe-plum flavors. Drink now." 

"Generous yet delicate, this red offers berry, dried cherry, floral, spice and vanilla flavors in a supple texture, featuring light tannins and orange peel acidity. Focused, with a juicy finish that draws you back. Drink now through 2022." 

Winemaker Notes:

The wine ages in used American oak for 4 years with 8 manual rackings (every 6 months). The wine further ages a minimum of 3 year in bottle before being released to the market. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered."
