Pesus 2006

"The flagship 2006 Pesus comes from a small parcel of 82-year-old Tempranillo vines blended with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. After fermentation in a special stainless steel tank, the wine was transferred into new French oak. It was racked further into new oak three times and aged for a total of 24 months in barrel. Purple/black in color, it emits an aromatic array of sandalwood, pencil lead, Asian spices, incense, truffle, tar, licorice, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense, rich, loaded, and long, it will continue unwinding for a decade and offer a drinking window extending from 2017 to 2036, probably longer. 
Vina Sastre is a benchmark estate in Ribera del Duero. It is committed to organic farming and biodynamic principles with the wines naturally made and bottled without fining or filtration."
