This small-production, ultraexpressive Bierzo features dynamite structure and intensity, a clear reflection of old vines grown at altitude. The nose exudes minerality and dense black fruit along with a good whack of fine French oak. The palate runs for miles while distributing warmth, richness, chocolate, minerality and length. Already drinking well but will age nicely for another three to five years.

Having really liked this wine a couple of years ago, this vintage seems comparatively fierce and aggressive, which isn’t to say it isn’t hugely flavorful and aromatic. On the down side, it’s residue-heavy and tannic, with full extraction and tannic berry fruit. Tough as nails; maybe it just needs a couple of years to settle.
