Papa Luna 07#

Papa Luna Calatayud 2007 (18.5/20), at 14.5% alc, is 70% Garnacha, 25% Syrah and 5% Mazuelo with Carignan, the Garnacha 70-100 y.o. The wine was aged 5 months in French and American oak. Very dark, deep, almost impenetrable, purple-hued red in colour, this had a reticent nose, packed with ripe red and dark berry fruits, along with subtle herb and earth nuances, waiting to unfold. On palate, this had lovely sweetness and ripeness of fruit, still very primary, allied to considerable tannin extraction, resulting in density. This will age extremely well, for 7-9 years  RC May 10
