2003 Vitivinos Anunciacion Bobal Azua Reserva Manchuela
($18) Dark red. Smoky cherry and raspberry aromas are complemented by vanillin oak and baking spices. Plush and distinctly ripe but surprisingly energetic, displaying sweet red and dark berry flavors framed by gentle acidity and tannins. Finishes with bitter chocolate and licorice qualities and good persistence. (Beacon Wine Company, San Francisco, CA)
