Wine Review - Anciano wines are matured for years in cellars stacked floor to ceiling with oak barrels. This slow, controlled maturation guarantees the perfect balance between ripe fruit and mellow oak character.
Personal Review - This was by far my least favorite wine of the ones I tasted. I thought it was insanely dry. However, I did think one thing was very cool about this wine: It aged for ten years - two years in an oak barrel and 8 years in the bottle. You could taste a little bit of the oak that had flavored this wine from the barrels; however, the dryness of the wine was simply too overpowering for me and left a bad taste in my mouth.
Food - I did not try this wine with food.
