  Immediately thought Italy, Nebbiolo, but went for Barbaresco over Barolo. Others thought this bottle may have been slightly flawed (minuscule TCA muting the fruit), but I still enjoyed it somewhat.
  
  Fruit intensity is lacking, but still very tannic and acidic, development of tertiary notes, leather, saddle, dried roses, tar. Definitely could improve with better showing of fruit.

  Color teja de capa media. Nariz expresiva con toques de fruta licorosa, algunos tostados, matices especiados, monte bajo. En boca tiene buen ataque, paso fluido, tanino pulido y bien integrado, acidez media, buena longitud. Sorprendió la delicadeza de su paso por boca.
  Cata 286 Penya La Verema
