2010 Bodega Dominio Buenavista / Veleta Nolados - Spain, Andalucía, Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra (2/15/2020)
Love the balance and presence on this wine. The Cabernet Franc leads the way with red fruit and herb elements. There’s a bit of green pepper, in a Loire Cab Franc way. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes in next, with deeper fruit, and solid structure. The Tempranillo dances around the two Cabernets, with leathery, earthy and spicy tones. I had a bottle of this a while back, and didn’t quite get it. Spending more time, and focus on this bottle is a rewarding experience. This is fabulous value, and has the fruit and structure to evolve for several more years.
