Inky ruby. An assertively perfumed, highly complex bouquet displays powerful, mineral-accented dark berry preserve, exotic spice, vanilla, potpourri and incense aromas, along with suggestions of cola and mocha. Broad, focused and deeply concentrated, offering palate-staining black and blue fruit liqueur, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that show remarkable clarity and are given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. The spice, mineral and floral notes resonate emphatically on the strikingly long, sweet finish, which features harmonious tannins and building, resonating dark berry character.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2042
A difficult year, 75,000 bottles. Storms during harvest. Smashed blackberries, herbal and a minty delicate lift. It is open, with pencil lead, earthiness and truffle too. Perfect and delicate, in a very good state of maturity. Very silky, very soft, but lots of energy. Good acidity providing freshness and balance. Smoothness. Shows Tempranillo can be both sweet and deep. A great bottle of wine with extraordinary silkiness. (FC)
