Description :
"Inky ruby. Powerful, alluring aromas of red- and blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry skin, with suave anise and floral overtones. Juicy and precise on the palate, with tangy red and dark berry flavors, silky texture and a strong mineral note on the back. Becomes spicier on the finish, which lingers long. This is impressively elegant."

"The 2005 Orben is sourced from 75 micro-parcels of old vines of Tempranillo planted between 1945 and 1954. The wine is a glass-coating purple. Aromas of slate, cedar, tobacco, blueberry, and blackberry lead to a muscular, structured wine which is a bit tightly wound but well-balanced. Intense, concentrated, and lengthy. This large-scaled effort needs 5-7 years of cellaring, and should be at its best from 2015 to 2030." -92 Points - Jay Miller - The Wine Advocate - 92 Points Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar
