NoM - quote from one of my sources, Guy Andersen wines (and indeed the 6er for a bottle.

"Aged in the cellars of Bodegas Navalon in the small DO Valdepenas, located at the heart of Spain. The wine is matured in small barriques made of American and French oak. The colour is cherry red with a bit of purple remaining, revealing its youth. Intense, sweet aromas of red fruit such as strawberry, cherry and redcurrant are joined by balsamic hints of vanilla and spice. The rounded palate enjoys the balance between acidity and tannins provided by oak aging, yet retains fresh flavours of fruit and vanilla. The finish closes with intense notes of red fruits."

That sounds very enticing, DT. :-)
