Castillo de Monjardin, Navarra (Spain) Tempranillo 2010

 This wine could be more complex, but it could hardly be more delicious, as the relatively simple fruit is perfectly ripened and balanced.  (For the record, I very rarely use the words “perfect” or “perfectly.”)  Medium-bodied, with supple fruit recalling dark cherries, the wine is broad and deep in texture and flavor but still fresh and focused, with notable acidity and soft tannins that frame the fruit without encumbering it.
