2014 Valserrano Finca Monteviejo

Intense aromas of graphite, vanilla and creamy berry fruits are a fine opening to this off-vintage winner, proof that great wines can come from weak vintages. The deep palate is blazing with integrated acidity. Campfire smoke is infused into blackberry and cassis flavors, while this is long, elegant and echoes ripe berry and chocolaty oak on the finish. Drink through 2040.
