Thursday, February 23, 2017 - Rioja Montecillo in Magum Tasting (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): From double-magnum.
100% Tempranillo (no gernache, really?) Made with all its skins and sleeping in American oak for 48 months.
Initially signs of oxidation that take a long time to dissipate. Something sour. It takes a little time to express itself, starting with moisture and varnish. The meat thing you look does not appear, if anything some marzipan, chocolate and wet soil. Memories from saline notes. Meanwhile some still looked for more meat odors instead of leather, dried apricots and spices. Everything with a softness more typical of old age than elegance.
Almost sour in the mouth, with a slightly astringent finish. Refreshes but without more. Neither depth nor amplitude nor length.
It has met my expectations and is saved by its performance on the nose.

100% Tempranillo (sin garnacha, venga ya) Elaborado con todos sus hollejos y crianza en robre americano durante 48 meses.
Inicialmente signos de oxidación que tardan mucho en disiparse. Algo avinagrado. Tarda un poco es expresarse, comenzando con la humedad y el barniz. Lo cárnico lo buscas y no aparece, si acaso algo de mazapán, chocolate y tierra mojada. Recuerdos lejanos a notas salinas. Algunos buscaban olores cárnicos en lugar de cuero, orejones y especias. Todo con una suavidad más propia de la vejez que de la elegancia.
Casi agrio en boca, con un final ligeramente astringente. Refresca pero sin más. Ni profundidad ni amplitud ni longitud.
Ha cumplido con mis expectativas y se salva por su actuación en nariz.
