Numanthia 2006
Numanthia 2006 is a dry, full-bodied red from Tempranillo (Toro, Spain), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity moderate; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 20-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, roast pork, steak, beef stew.
