Hearty and fresh, medium-bodied and rustic, brambly red fruit. Definitely more robust than the La Vitoriana ‘16 and perhaps a better accompaniment to the lamb stew our friends made!
Pop and pour. In the glass, a slight auburn tint at the rim, but for the most part, the deep maroon-red looks like a much younger wine. On the nose, a burst of funk, followed in short order by forest floor, currants, and lead. On the palate, very smooth and soft, with cassis, cherries, graphite, and a bit of bacon fat. None of the "dustiness" I usually associate with tempranillo, and no meaningful tannins - if you haven't opened one yet, it's time.
No detailed notes. Lacking a bit of intensity to be more than excellent like other bottles before. Fully mature and a bit of round tannins still there. Complex and with more future if perfectly stored. 5/12/16/9.
