One of the most sought after and expensive wines, made only in exceptional years, aged for 31 months in American oak barrels, Deep, rich hue, fairly typical of youthful Rioja. It has a very firm and aromatically defined nose, very youthful and primary, initially showing only the sweet vanilla butter of lengthy aging in oak. Then more fruit elements come out, rather bright cranberry and redcurrant elements at first, but with more air it shows more flattering and rounded fruit characteristics, plum, wild cherry, also notes of tanned leather and orange zest. Behind this there are also some blacker streaks coming in, blackberry with a tinge of tobacco. A good substance in the mouth, feeling increasingly full with aeration, showing a rich tannic core with some time. There is plenty of structure here behind the polished yet acidic fruit. Full, with a clean acid-bound finish, and a rolling substance. There is certainly great potential here; this wine has decades ahead of it.
