Thanks to Tomás Postigo, former winemaker from Pago de Carraovejas, today we have here a wine that promises, Bosque de Matasnos!

The vineyard to made this wine is located 950 metres above sea level, ensuring slow but perfect ripening of the grapes.

 

Bosque de Matasnos has an bright cherry color with some garnets reflexes. Has an abundant and slow teardrop.

In nose it’s a clean wine with nice aromatic intensity. It offers an intense aroma with notes of ripe red fruits, cherry and berries. Also has mild toast and spices notes, in an attractive background with vanilla. The wood is perfectly integrated.

When we taste this wine we find a warm and pleasant entrance, with notes of mature berries and plum. Round palate with nice sweet tannins and light toast notes of nuts. Long, sexy and very nice ending.

Today I pair the fantastic 2010 Bosque de Matasnos with good company!

 

This wine surprised me a lot, I think it can improve a lot yet in bottle, simply fantastic!
