Ayles 'Cuesta del Herrero' Vino de Pago 2021, Ayles Spain

Old world, old school, earthy and richly scented with a mix of dark berries and soft brown soil earth ideas, black currant and tobacco, black cherry and sweet spice, velvet flowers and barrel spice. Delicious on the palate with an abundance of fine chalky almost dusty tannins, medium acidity, then flavours of red fruit and spices that reflect the bouquet. Tannins stick to the palate and dissolve slowly, the core fruit flavours taper off to reveal some dry earth and barrel qualities. A delicious wine that will require your attention to the detail. Well made, lengthy and ready with best drinking from 2024 through 2030.
