The 2008 Calvario from Finca Allende is a Rioja DOCa red blend, primarily composed of Tempranillo, complemented by Garnacha and Graciano. Its appearance is a deep red with purple hues. The nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, cocoa and subtle spices. On the palate, it provides a fleshy mouthfeel, characterised by fine tannins and a balanced structure. Finca Allende was founded by winemaker Miguel Angel de Gregorio and has an enviable reputation for its single-vineyard Rioja expressions.

Vinous
Dark purple. Complex, highly perfumed bouquet of red berries, cherry pit, incense and dried flowers. Spicy raspberry and cherry flavors show a refreshingly bitter quality and are given depth by a note of licorice. Packs a serious punch but there's a surprisingly lithe quality to this wine too. The finish clings with impressive tenacity and repeats the cherry and floral notes. I'd let this wine rest for at least another three years or so. By the way, the 2007 Calvario has put on weight in the last year but also possesses superb energy; I rated it 94 in August.Josh Raynolds1st November 2011
