Almansa – Laya 750ml

Tasting Note: Bright purple. Powerful, spice- and smoke-tinged black and blue fruit aromas are complicated by deep licorice and mocha nuances. Lush and broad with tangy acidity lifting and focusing the concentrated blueberry and cassis flavors. The supple, spicy finish shows very good clarity and punch. This sexy, seamless wine delivers remarkable bang for the buck. Drinking window: 2016-2019. Score – 90. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, Jan. 2016)
