This wine follows the initial path of the winery, as much in personality, which is very appropriate for the region—refined enough in its potency to be an aging wine—as in quality, asserting nobility. This ’01 surpasses even the preceding ’00, which is logical given the experience and the quality of the year.
Charming olfactory, with fine and at the same time intense aromas; clear presence of toast from the treatment of certain woods, notes of roasting, vanilla, clove, etc., fusing with hints of wild ripe fruit reminiscent of blackberries. To the palate as to the nose, it is delicate as well as flavorful, absolutely expressive, well structured and with pronounced fruitiness, making it lively.
100% Tinta Fina from various parts of the Ribera del Duero region. Aged for one year in new American and French oak barrels. Bottled in early July 2003.
