Finca Allende, Gaminde Vintage:2015 Upon my arrival at theThe nose of the 2016 Gaminde is creamy, balsamic and spicy, with plenty of new oak undertones and ripe fruit without excess. This is a clean, modern, generously oaked Tempranillo, with plenty of tannins and oak related flavors, and it needs a couple of years in bottle to digest the wood. It's nicely structured and shows power with balance in its style. 12,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2018.
