Bobal Flavors

Young Bobal wines often burst with fresh fruit flavors like dark cherry, raspberry, and blackberry. In mature wines, the fruit flavors are more concentrated and jammy, with plum and blackcurrant notes. A distinct licorice or anise flavor can sometimes be detected.

A subtle floral note (violet) often adds an aromatic complexity to the wine. Notes of thyme, rosemary, or lavender can reflect the local terroir. Spicy pepper hints often add complexity in the most robust wines.

Flavors from Maturation and Aging

In wines that undergo oak aging, cinnamon and clove notes can emerge, and you will find secondary flavors of chocolate, mocha, and coffee.

The Ideal Glass for Bobal

The Bordeaux Glass was designed for enjoying fuller-bodied, tannic red wines. They are taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl. The tall size allows the bouquet of the wine to develop, smooth out rough edges, play down tannins, and allow the wine to achieve balance. The slimmer bowl directs the wine to the back of your mouth for a maximum taste.
