Opened by Emilio. He brought this back from Spain. I believe that only 100 cases are made. 100% fTinta del País from vines approaching 100 years old. Only made in the best vintages. Not decanted. Deep red color. An elegant and expressive wine. Notes of oak, berries and plum. 15% alcohol but this was not hot or heavy. Long finish. 95 points.

This is a big Tempranillo. Be sure to decant as there is a lot of fine sediment. Decanted and let it open up over two hours. Inky purple in the glass, the nose has plum, tar and coffee notes. The taste is spectacular, long finish notes of tar, bittersweet chocolate, cassis, and earth. Very concentrated, it evolved over several hours continuing to impress. No way this would last to day two, you will finish every drop. Reminiscent of Clos Mogodor. Outstanding.
