This is a very well-aged wine that shows character and maturity. Despite the fact that 2013 was a very hot vintage resulting in the 15% of alcohol announced on the label, this Estate Naramata Bench Tempranillo still shows freshness and precision, which is very impressive for an 11 year old wine. On the nose, the wine offers seductive aromas of ripe plum, cooked strawberry, dry thyme, dark licorice, brown sugar, dried fig and clove. The palate is soft and vibrant, showing little signs of slowing down. The flavours match the aromas to a “T” and an intriguing and purposeful hint of oxidation starts to appear in your glass after 30 minutes, which is expected from a wine of that age. The tannins are still rocking while they have surely softened over the years and the finish shows lots of oak spices with impressive structure throughout. (Carl Boucher, August 5, 2024).
