CONVENTO SAN FRANCISCO |
| Deep intense purple colour. Intense, very complex, slightly spicy, ripe plum nose with some sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, very well structured, dense, slightly spicy, intense, dried black berries and ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, gently cedary, lifted finish. Made from selected Tempranillo (aka Aragonés), this spent 17 months in new Bordeaux barrels. This THIRD REPEAT of this Flagship Store Exclusive has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with the same lot number L0106 on the back label. The recommended best buy 2006 (***) was last released on September 17, 2016 at $27.95 and before that on August 8, 2015 at $38.00. TONY ASPLER / 90-points / BEST BUY - Cedar, vanilla oak and spicy plum on the nose; full-bodied, dry,savoury plum with pencil lead flavours and ripe tannins. Great balance with a warm alcoholic finish. The LCBO website and website says that only “70 cases made” based on the October 15, 2013 Wine Spectator tasting note quoted. In fact, 7,022 bottles (585 cases) were produced. A RELEASE HIGHLIGHT at the price! |

| TASTING NOTE: Muscular yet graceful, this polished red features plum and currant fruit layered with loam, mineral and coffee notes over firm yet well-integrated tannins. Balanced, with good persistence on the smoky finish. Drink now through 2020. 70 cases made. Score - 92 (Thomas Matthews, winespectator.com, Oct. 15, 2013) |
