Still mostly dark purple. Austere saddle leather and almost ripe plums. Lean and linear palate. Nice complexity with bell peppers over wild blueberries. Smooth and compellingly honest. The decently long finish brings out bakers chocolate and dark roast espresso.

Drank with friends, so no proper notes. Quite dry, earthy and austere. Not much fruit, but some tertiary complexity. Followed a bottle of cheap, fruity red (not mine!) that did it no favours.
Recently tried the '14, which has more blackcurrant fruit, may pick up 1 or 2 of those.

By the glass. Between traditional and modern. On one side, elegantly silky and on the other, notes of coffee nugget and pure cocoa along with black pepper stand out. Mineral finish and acidity contained. Recommended.
Por copas. A caballo entre lo tradicional y lo moderno. De una parte elegantemente sedoso y de otra sobresalen las notas de pepita de café y de cacao puro junto con pimienta negra. Final mineral y acidez contenida. Recomendado.
