L'attaque est agréable, l'équilibre est très bon (pas d'alcool, tannins assez fins), finale courte, plus d'esbroufe que de fond. Ce n'est pas 'fin de parcours'. Le fruit est un peu sec. Les 14% sont maîtrisés. C'est savoureux, à défaut d'être 'personnel'.

deep youthful red. Attractive and overt nose of red fruits with some tertiary character of mushrooms and forest floor. Touch of VA?A full-bodied mouthful with texture of velvet thanks to sweet fruit and fine, ripe tannins. Sweet ripe fruit is main characteristic with a firm finish with moderate length with lots of fruit. Fresh. Has fruit and acidity to age further but tanninsmay soften to extent the wine loses its structure.

Exotic spices, alcohol and black fruit on the nose. Fruity and spicy palate, with a lot of black fruit, but fresh, not cloying or overly sweet, supported by spices, liquorice, black coffee and kirsch. The wood is noticeable but not overbearing. Idem for the alcohol. Slightly peppery aftertaste. Needs some bottle age to integrate. The Laderas is more enjoyable now, but this is more complex and accomplished.

Berry Bros & Rudd - Iberian Treasures - A Fine Spanish & Portuguese Wine Walkaround Tasting (Berry Bros, London): Nose: Horse sweat, leather, wet hay - very rustic, not much fruit
Mouth: tannic bitterness, no fruit, not much finish.
