CONVENTO SAN FRANCISCO |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Complex, mature, gently earthy, slightly baked, ripe apple-plum-cherry puree nose with some cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, complex, very slightly spicy, leathery, baked plum flavours with a lingering, still fairly high acid, cedary finish. This 100% Tempranillo has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L-0310 on the back label. A REPEAT of the recommended 2010 (**+) was released on March 18, 2017 at $20.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Spicy, sandalwood and plum nose; medium to full-bodied, dry, blackberry and blackcurrant flavours carried on lively acidity to a firm tannic finish |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2010 Convento San Francisco was quite impressive. Pure Tempranillo fermented in stainless steel, it aged for 15 months in French (70%) and American oak barrels, and yet it's not oaky at all. Of course, the extra time in bottle must have polished the edges and the aromas, and is now starting to show some complexity and tertiary, developed aromas with hints of truffles, mushrooms and decayed leaves over a core of ripe fruit. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins giving it character and an elegant rusticity. 46,763 bottles produced. Drink date: 2015-2018. Score - 91 (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Oct. 29, 2015) |
