On the palate it’s rich, structured and creamy, with bright and floral aromatics and a balsamic core. It finishes so fresh for a wine of its age, and there’s easily 5-10 years still in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this wine is from the dead-centre of Spain and not somewhere else more famous, the value is spectacular!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WineSpark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57547341168971,"sku":"ARRBFG24","price":24.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0645\/5483\/files\/WS-HighKey-0230.jpg?v=1732722360","url":"https:\/\/winespark.com\/products\/el-bufon-de-arrayan-garnacha-2024","provider":"WineSpark","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
