June 20, 2012 - Pago de los Capellanes "El Picón" vertical tasting (Monvinic (Barcelona)): 2003, the warmest vintage in recent years. Because of this, the winery performed an extensive selection of grapes, which meant that only 3,000kgs out of the usual 10,000kgs were selected.
It has a darker cherry color and a considerably higher layer than 98 and 99. The nose shows a high intensity bouquet: red ripe fruit, cherry liqueur, smoke, charcoal, kirsh and hints of flowers.
The palate is powerful, with a moderate tannic texture and being noticeably more bodied than its predecessors. Mouth coating in middle palate, floods it with tons of ripe black fruit, minerality, charcoal and even mint. Alcohol can become just a little bit noticiable but holds very well (15.3). It ends with a very long and persistent, seamless finish. Ready to drink, probably reaching its peak. In my opinion, this was the best of the tasting along with the 2004. Exceptional. 94-95 -

September 14, 2010 - Full bodied, deep ruby color. Bouquet of flowers, cherries, wood and earth. Flavours of oak, dark cherries, chocolate and spices. Fresh and intense, but lacks depth and balance. I missed that distinct "old vine" aftertaste i usually associate with renowned single vineyard wines from Duero.
