October 2016Luis GutierrezTo catch up with what’s being currently released I also tasted the 2012 1902, a wine from Cariñena vines planted in 1902 that is not produced every year (so far only 2009, 2010 and 2012 exist). After fermenting in stainless steel, the wine matured in brand new French oak barrels for 16 months and was bottled in April 2014. It’s still a baby, and it’s a little closed and in need of some time in bottle to unfurl all it has inside. There is a combination of violets, scorched earth, spices, Mediterranean herbs, peat and dark cherries. The palate is not as concentrated as you might expect, and it shows great elegance, freshness and balance. It’s amazing what old Cariñena can deliver. It should age into a really beautiful swan. These low yielding vines produced 850 numbered bottles in the dry and warm 2012 vintage.
August 2016Tom MatthewsThis aromatic red is rich with smoke and mineral notes that follow through on the palate, deepened by cranberry, tar and mountain herb flavors. The dense texture is balanced and grace-ful. Drink now through 2022.
June 2016Still closed in the nose, with clove, pipe tobacco and slate. Very elegant, with a silky texture and extreme finesse. Tasty, yet fruity, but with the mineral notes to sharpen and prolong it.
2017An intense cherry colour with violet-shaded rim. Aroma with character, complex, powerful, mountain herbs. Round in the mouth, full, powerful, ripe tannins.
