Written Notes

Tinto Pesquera Millenium Magnum 1996. A wine of Alejandro Fernandez from a vintage classified as exceptional. Aged in French and American oak, Single varietal Tempranillo.

A wine that shows a ruby color in the glass with brick-red reflections.

On the nose flavours of black fruit, licorice, pepper, vanilla, moss.  All surrounded by tertiary flavours (bouquets).. Intense and complex. Wonderful.

Still very lively and tannic on the palate. With a lot of life ahead of it. Elegant and powerful. Clear presence of fruit. Extraordinary acidity. Bitter on the finish, mineral and spicy. 

A wine that, after tasting, deserves the rating of Exceptional.
