The 2006 Pagos Viejos is sourced from Tempranillo vines over 75 years of age and aged for 18 months in new French oak. The wine is inky purple with a sublime nose of pain grille, graphite, black cherry, wild blue fruits, and blackberry. This leads to a dense, plush, remarkably elegant wine which is already exhibiting some complexity. While rich enough to be enjoyed now, it will improve for 5-7 years and be at its best from 2015 to 2030.
100% Tempranillo.
Rich dark fruit and gently perfumed, very slightly floral. But lively too with red fruit notes. Just a touch spirity. More noticeable oak on the palate. Fine dry tannins and alcohol balanced on the palate.
