  Skränmunkarna May 2014 (Minervaskolan, Umeå, Sweden.): Blind.
  It's unfortunate that there are coarse tannins here and that the wine is non-incorporated in itself.
  
  Blackish purple, showing REALLY young.
  Mellow nose with red fruit and buttery aromas.
  In the mouth this is TI-tannic and restrained in great fashion. I noted some harsh stalky, coarse tannins among the more velvety ones. Finishes long with intense, yet non-complex grapey aromas. Some barrels come out in the end-game, from underneath the rather rich and intense fruit. Clay-like minerality.
  
  This wine seems it could have been so much more. Or will become something MUCH more. If I had some, I'd keep the next btl for 5 years.

  El top de la gama de Bodegas La Horra, el proyecto de Bodegas Roda en Ribera del Duero. En esta, su primera añada, se muestra color picota brillante de buena capa con destellos granate. Nariz de buena intensidad, con fruta roja y negra en sazón, ligeros tostados, ligeros toques minerales, ligeros apuntes de chocolate negro, algún recuerdo especiado y un fondo ligeramente balsámico que reaparece posteriormente en el retronasal. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, con un tanino vivo aún falto de redondearse en botella, bien de acidez, es notable el peso de fruta, largo y bien definido. El vino fermentó en tinas de roble he hizo la maloláctica en barricas. Pasó 14 meses en barricas de roble, 80% francés y 20% americano. Un vino a seguir, especialmente conociendo la trayectoria de la bodega.

  Bodegas La Horra is the Ribera del Duero operation of Bodegas RODA. This is 100% Tinta del Pais from vineyards under a long term contract with an average age of 20 years grown in La Horra and Burgos. Fermented both in large oak vats and stainless steel. Aged for 12 months in 80% French and 20% American oak. This is the inaugural vintage for this label.
  Dark ruby coloured. Bright nose showing a mix of red and black fruit running along spicy undertones. Dense with firm yet velvety tannins, packed with vibrant black fruit. Well poised with elegance. Will age beautifully.
