Via Cenit 2013 (750ML)

93 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "(Bodegas Viñas Del Cénit Via Cénit) (aged for a year in French oak barriques, 40% of them new): Glass-staining ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, candied flowers, mocha and allspice, with a mineral nuance building in the glass. Sappy, penetrating and pure, offering intense boysenberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that deepen and spread out with air. Juicy acidity sharpens the finish, which hangs on with strong blue fruit-driven tenacity. (Drink between 2019-2025)" 1/16

91 Points, Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast: "Heavy oak gives this Tempranillo from Zamora an inky, resiny, charred set of aromas. Its muscular palate is softened somewhat by creamy oak. Woody mocha, blackberry, vanilla and spice flavors linger into the finish, feeling rich but also punchy and tannic. Drink through 2024." 8/17
