Spain, Castilla y León, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León
Very strong aromas, a lot of oak, vanilla, plum, floral. Very fresh, medium body, delicious. Long, ripe and oaky aftertaste. In the glass, after an hour, it lost its balance.
Excelent wine. Very balanced, integrated oak, toffee, tobacco, elegant, smooth tannins, delicious acidity. The best red wine of the night at this stage.
It was rated blind. Oaky, resinous, bacon, medium body, elegant, complex, great acidity. Long finish. Lack a little of structure. Evolved beautifully in the glass adding complexity. Young, definitely.

Sharp acidity! Brioche, yeast, a hint of rusty. The aromas are still closed. Long finish. Very complex. Great!!
