Youthful colour, medium deep purple; glossy and compact nose, modern but not exaggerated, with lots of mineral depth; rich and powerful palate, black cherries, hint of cocoa, concentrated and rich, big tannins; very good persistence. Needs time.

Tasted blind. Decanted. From centenarian ungrafted Tinta de Toro vines, vineyards in Valmediano, La Jara and Marinacea (800-900 metres altitude), 18 months in 100% new French barriques, 14.5% ABV. Medium deep colour, youthful and lively; complete but still quite closed on the nose, black cherries and tar, brooding depth; the surprisingly fresh palate displays lots of noble, low toast oak, tightly wound, energetic, fierce tannins; almost completely closed on the oaky finish. Needs time, interesting to see whether the extraction will prove too ambitious. No idea where this is going to. Provisional score (93). On the second day, when the wine has opened up and relaxed a bit, a clearer picture emerges of a pure and precise wine, still not easy to approach but easier to read, with impressive component parts that will need at least another five years to integrate. The floral lift and warm spices are particularly attractive, but the question remains whether the fruit will outlive the tannins (94).

Slightly reduced nose, citrus and smoky minerals, fresh and tight, good length.

Uncomplicated, quite tropical (passion fruit, mango, pineapple), gooseberry, very grassy, intense flavours, good length. In your face.

Spicy and plummy, juicy fruit, light structure, fresh and mature, ripe tannins, good length.
