Caçula da noite, um Roble em seu vermelho alegre e vivaz. Muito floral, algo mineral e repleto de cerejas frescas recém tiradas do pé, que se confirmavam em boca. Médio corpo, nada complexo, persistência decente e bom ganho com o delicioso Pimiento con Bacalao.

VISUAL: Clear, bright. Medium plus ruby-purple with a violet rim. Moderate tears.
NOSE: Low intensity nose with light brett (animal fur / 4-EP), some ripe red cherry, slight turned earth.
PALATE: Medium plus body, medium plus alcohol ~13.5% (correct) Medium plus chewy tannins, elevated acidity. Slight oak (partial new oak) presenting as baking spices. [According to the producer’s notes, this spent 5 months in new French oak]
CONCLUSIONS: Old world wine from a moderate climate. Possibly: -Northern Rhone (no black pepper, no dark fruit) -Chianti Classico (oak seems atypical, fruit character doesn’t fit) Final call (I knew this was bad given the oak, and aromatics: 2013 St. Joseph)
Actually: Ribera del duero! I just wasn’t expecting something like this from Tempranillo. So extracted, so dark, and with so little oak.
2013 Pago de los Capellanes Roble—Ribera del Duero 5 months in new French oak.
This seems well made, but I’m not the biggest fan of it’s integration - it seemed a bit disjointed. Score: around 8.5

A private lunch (Restaurant Librije's Zusje **, Amsterdam, NL): Youthful, vibrant, fresh and juicy cherry fruit, lactic, creamy, hint of spice, mineral and fresh, bright acidity, nice balance, ripe bitters from the skins; good length.
