CURIOSITY
Historia de Santalba represents the culmination of Santiago Ijalba's career. After an entire life making high-quality wines, Santiago closes the loop with this unique cuvee.
TASTING NOTES
Visual
Very intense, dark and deep. Impenetrable and dense.
Aromas
Many layers make this wine complex and mysterious. Excellent oak and the finest spices. Black fruits with fresh spices, cocoa, tobacco, and violets in the background. Mineral notes. Spicy hints of cinnamon and black pepper from the ageing. The oak is very well integrated, which displays the high quality of the selected wood.
Taste
Mouth-filling, volume and full-bodied with firm tannins of great elegance and quality. Excellent acidity makes a perfect balance. Full of flavour and broad-ranging reminders of fruit, cocoa, minerals and spices in the mouth aromas. A long, full, elegant aftertaste.
Serving suggestions
Good with grilled meat, Portobello mushrooms, braised lamb, cheeks in wine, fried foie gras, sirloin in pepper sauce, red meats, beans and pulses, mature and semi-mature cheese, game in red wine, steak tartare and so on. Temperature of consumption: 17oC
Storage
Store this wine in a cool, ventilated place where the temperature is relatively constant. Keep the bottles on their side so the wine is always in contact with the cork.
