Dark like crude oil, with a rich, raisiny nose that conveys thickness. This is pure Tempranillo, made ripe and sweet. Flavors of prunes and blackberry are full and forward. The tannins are soft. Not overly complex, but chewy and of a certain style.

Round and waxy, with very little verve. The flavors are of banana, bitter almonds and vanilla, yet there’s no pulse or excitement here. Finishes dilute.

Neutral aromas of citrus and almond skin precede a jumpy, fresh and spritzy palate of green apple and citrus flavors. Tight, crisp, food-friendly white wine with cut and zest. Comfortably fits the Rueda/Verdejo model.

Unlike the regular Clavidor, this old-vines wine glistens and slides across the nose and palate with nary a whiff of wood. It smells of apples and melon, and the flavors go straight to lemon curd, green apple and kiwi. Fairly long and cleansing on the finish, with a nice mouthfeel. Drink now.

Immediately you smell the cinnamon and woodspice of oak. The wine’s bottle says “fermented in stainless steel,” but there’s no doubt that wood plays a dominant role and that the wine saw some sort of oak, possibly even staves. Still, the body is fresh and there isn’t any resin or thickness. Better if you like a wine infused with cinnamon and other spice notes.
