The 2015 Telmo Rodriguez Matallana is a remarkable red wine hailing from the prestigious Ribera Del Duero region in Spain. Crafted by the renowned producer Telmo Rodriguez, this wine showcases the mastery and expertise that has made Rodriguez a household name in the wine industry.

In the glass, the wine exhibits a deep, enticing red color that is characteristic of well-aged Tempranillo. The aromas that waft from the glass are simply captivating, drawing you in with their complexity and depth. Notes of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, mingle elegantly with hints of vanilla, spice, and a touch of earthiness. It is reminiscent of the classic Ribera del Duero wines of old, showcasing a beautiful balance between rusticity and ripeness.

On the palate, the 2015 Telmo Rodriguez Matallana truly shines. Medium to full-bodied, this wine displays surprising harmony and balance. The flavors are focused and pure, with velvety tannins that give the wine a luxurious texture. The palate is treated to a symphony of flavors, including black cherries, blackcurrants, and a touch of oak that adds layers of complexity. The wine finishes with remarkable length, leaving a lasting impression that lingers on the taste buds.

With an alcohol percentage of 14.5%, this wine has the power and structure to age gracefully for years to come. The vineyards from which the grapes are sourced are worked organically, ensuring that only the finest fruit is selected for production. The grapes are fermented using indigenous yeasts and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels of different ages, adding further depth and complexity to the final product.

The 2015 Telmo Rodriguez Matallana is a true masterpiece that showcases the potential of the Ribera del Duero region. With only 16,884 bottles produced, this wine is a rare gem that is not to be missed by any serious wine enthusiast.
