WS 96
  • S$15697

Vintage: 2015 

Region: Rioja

Country: Spain 

"Made only in exceptional years, this bottling is inky garnet in color with aromas of raspberry, black currant, and a touch of mint. It is rich on the palate with smooth tannins and flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, eucalyptus, orange zest, and jasmine that coalesce in a satisfying finish. Mike DeSimone" - 95/100, Wine Enthusiast

GRAPE VARIETIES: 89% Tempranillo 11% Graciano

AGEING: 25 MONTHS IN FRENCH OAK BARRELS, 22 MONTHS IN BOTTLE

89% Tempranillo and 11% Graciano from a selection of 40 to 60-year-old vines from “Pago El Rincón”, located at our own vineyard “Viña Lanciano”

Continental Mediterranean with an average rainfall of  40mm.  The large difference in day and night temperatures is due to the influence of the  Sierra  Cantabria,  which helps achieve optimum ripeness and maximizes aromas. 2015  growth cycle:  a  winter of heavy rain followed by a  dry and warm spring and summer.  Temperatures were milder during the second half of  August,  with a considerable temperature difference between day and night, which optimized polyphenolic maturation.

WS: 96 points

96 Points! Full-bodied and dense with flavor, this big red is a gentle powerhouse, remaining plush and approachable, with currant, quince, tangerine, cola and vanilla flavors, supported by well-integrated tannins and bright, citrusy acidity. Harmonious and complete, this delivers a successful blend of traditional and modern styles. Drink now through 2035. - Wine Spectator
