Bodega Taron 'Pantocrator' Edition Limitada Rioja 2015

Only made in the very best vintages, Pantocrator is a blend of Tempranillo and Mazuelo hand-picked from bush vines over 70 years old. The two varieties are aged separately in American oak barrels for 12 months and then blended and returned to the barrels for another 6 months. The wine is then left in stainless steel tanks for 12 months where it is further refined and only then is it deemed ready for bottling. Taron keep these bottles in their cellars for 6 years before release to ensure the wine is ready to drink. A perfect balance of power and elegance, with notes of black cherries, liquorice, sweet spices such as cinnamon and clove and a light mineral touch on the finish. Serve with rich meats such as lamb shanks, BBQ steaks or a sausage casserole. Decanter World Wine Awards Platinum Award.
