The 2004 Finca El Bosque on the other hand shows what Bodegas Sierra Cantabria can achieve in a great vintage. It is sourced from a tiny Tempranillo vineyard (3.66 acres) of the same name planted in 1973. The wine was barrel fermented and then aged for 16 months in new French and Romanian Bordeaux barrels and bottled without filtration. Opaque purple the wine gives up flamboyant aromas of lead pencil scorched earth vanilla wild blueberry licorice and blackberry liqueur. Opulent on the palate with layer upon layer of thick black fruits this youthful wine has great balance beautifully delineated flavors and a very long pure finish. Cellar this large-scaled wine for a decade and drink it through 2040.
