  Tasted next to the 2003 Parcela El Nogal. Nicely evolved in terms of colour, more herbal, slightly mushroomy, more evolved on the nose. More structure and definition, more acidity and grip, lovely fruit and length. Excellent. 92-94

  Color rojo oscuro con una suave tonalidad granatosa, ribete rojo-atejado, capa alta y fina lágrima poco tintada. En nariz se muestra suave y elegante, la fruta madura que recuerda la compota de frambuesa y está bien fundida en los cremosos tostados de la barrica, toques de vainilla seca y canela en rama, notas mentoladas punzantes que le aportan frescura y profundidad, suaves recuerdos de jarabe de grosellas, hoja de tabaco seca y cueros viejos, cacao en polvo, café arábica suavemente tostado, hierbas del monte secas, ligeras sensaciones minerales de fondo con un apunte de monte bajo húmedo. Notable entrada en boca con una dulzona y jugosa astringencia, magnífico recorrido de cuerpo medio y una acidez palpitante, muy elegante, bien hecho y estructurado, intenso, sabrosa fruta madura en el que predomina la fruta roja, suaves especiados, poco volumen y magnífica persistencia. Final bien largo, postgusto de fruta madura y retronasal ahumado.
  Una delicia.

  Pago de los Capellanes "El Picón" vertical tasting (Monvinic (Barcelona)): Year of lower rainfall, more hot and dry than usual, the harvest was advanced to the Sept. 16, ending on 26 October.
  cherry color purple, clearly more colorful than 1998, but with the same brownish trim. Dark color seems the norm in this wine and will become more pronounced as we move on to more recent vintages. The nose, which initially shows a hint of reduction, is more subtle, quiet and mainly shows red fruit liqueur, chocolate and blackberries. After some time in glass, it evolves to smoked aromas, fire pit smoke and underbrush.
  On palate tannins are fully integrated, more rounded than the 98. Very pleasant on the palate, it' mouth coating, filling the palate with red fruit flavors, candy and dried tomatoes. The finish is medium and quite persistent. 90-92

  Single vineyard, 100% tempranillo. Very dark colour still with some youth evident at the edge of the glass. Big plummy nose with wafts of heather. Needs a bit of time to open up properly yet. Very rich on the palate and a touch spirity. Though the spirit does start to blow off a little with some time in the glass. Very smooth. Great power. Very good tannins. After a bit of time, it really develops a fantastic nose: heather, plums, coffee, chocolate and blackberries. Really Very Good Indeed.
