Community Tasting Note

• PSPatrick wrote: 90 points

  September 13, 2015 - The wine was medium ruby in colour. It had a complex and layered nose that kept developing new aromas as time passed, including mixed berries (mainly red), fresh herbs, chocolate, vanilla, liquorice and iodine as well as hints of flowers, bacon, smoke, earth. On the palate the wine showed mixed berries, fresh herbs, coffee, some chocolate and some liquorice, with fresh, medium-level acidity, smooth, fine, medium-level tannin, a creamy mouthfeel and superb length. The medium-bodied, berries + herbs-driven wine was incredible balanced, felt seamless on the palate and drank very well. A lovely wine! Another step up from earlier vintages. I liked it a lot! 90+

Back in 2006, the blend was 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Callet. The Bodega has gradually increased the proportion of Callet year by year, to 90% Callet and 10% Manto Negro since 2012. And to me that really hit the sweet spot. The wines of earlier vintages have also been good, but now the wine is not only smooth, seamless and incredibly long but also delivers a true sense of place. I am already looking forward to trying the 2014!
