A sensational effort, the 1995 Alenza reveals a youthfulness that belies its age. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by scents of damp earth, melted licorice, black currants, and spicy wood. Full-bodied and rich with substantial tannin, it is just beginning to hit its apogee, and should drink well for another decade. There are 2,000 cases of the Alenza, named after both Alejandro and his wife, Esperenza. Aged 30 months in primarily new American oak, it is, as Alejandro said, “a wine for traditionists.”Importer: Classical Wines from Spain Ltd., Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 297-6713 and (800) 257-7225
