TASTING NOTES

The blend consists of 95% Tempranillo from 40-year-old vines in Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas in Rodezno, complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. The Graciano gives the wine an aromatic intensity and acidity, to carry the structure and elegance of the Tempranillo.

A beautiful Pinot Noir led rosé sparkling from the master of Piedmont, Bruno Giacosa. This is an elegant and complex glass of fizz with cranberries, brioche and cream flavours. A perfect aperitive or partner to fine Italian charcuterie.

An exquisite juxtaposition between white orchard fruit and a minerally citrus frame; the fine vinous...

Another cracker was the Aster, Finca El Otero 2014 from Burgos, the central chunk of Ribera where most of the best wines comes from. This big wine (14.5% above but well-balanced) was notably complex with well-meshed tannins and a long finish. Clearly, it will age well.Geoffrey Dean, The Buyer
