Only produced in the best years from 70yo vines, this sees about 13 months of French oak. 96pc Tempranillo. Mid red. Quite ripe on the nose. Stewed plums, vanillin oak. At this stage a little warm and a touch too much oak character for me to score higher although this may integrate with time. Ripe and full bodied in the mouth. Very drinkable, and holds up open for three days implying good aging potential.

96% Tempranillo, 2% Graciano, 2% Mazuelo. Average 70 year old vines. This is something of a modern style which is not normally my preference. However this is done with style and restraint and while youthful is already beginning to drink well.

Tasting at Punta Cana wine store.
Love the nose. Limestone, butter, some wood,
Light tanins, very smooth and light raisins.
