Pago De Los Capellanes 'Doroteo' 2020

Pago de los Capellanes 'Doroteo' 2020 pours a highly concentrated, intense cherry-red color with a brilliant ruby rim in the glass. Released as an ultra-limited homage to the family patriarch, this profound New World red unfurls an expressive, complex bouquet loaded with ripe black cherries, plums, and wild blackberries. The lavish fruit profile is seamlessly wrapped in elegant layers of graphite, toasted oak spice, sweet cigar box, and deep balsamic undertones. On the palate, it delivers a massive yet exceptionally polished structure where fine-grained, chalky tannins and a lively line of natural acidity frame the dark berry core. Extensive aging in French oak lends a silky, seamless texture that extends beautifully into a long, persistent, and aristocratic finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with traditional wood-fired suckling lamb chops, slow-roasted venison shank, rich wild boar stews, or well-aged, mature artisanal sheep's milk cheeses like Manchego.

An elegant red, fresh and focused, integrating sculpted tannins with layers of ripe black cherry and black plum. Offers richer notes of fig cake and licorice, plus a subtle, fragrant thread of sandalwood, bay leaf, white pepper and graphite. A fluid version, with lovely balance and a long, long finish. Drink now through 2035.
