2006 El Seque Alicante Gift Six Bottle Case
2006 El Seque Alicante Gift Six Bottle Case
|
|
Presented in a wooden six bottle case. A new winery owned by Artadi and magnificantly packaged in a wooden 6 pack box- a great gift idea. This is 80% old vine mourvedre, 10% Syrah and 10% Tempranillo and spends 14 months in French oak. It is from a 40 hectre high altitude vineyard from the Alicante region in Spain. Artardi has revitalised an old vineyard on limestone soils in this up and coming area . Similar in style to wines in Bandol in Provence. While they are big wines in their youth they soften out into almost Burgundian like complexity with age.
" Vivid ruby. Deep blackcurrant and blackberry aromas are complicated by smoked meat, iron and mocha. Fresh dark berry flavors offer impressive depth and clarity, with supple tannins and a kick of zesty minerals. Gains energy with air, finishing with excellent flavor definition and sappy persistence. This really expanded in the glass, suggesting that it will reward patience."92/100 Tanzer
