David Lawrason
This is a single, high altitude, rocky soiled vineyard bottling of 80% tempranillo, 20% garnacha. It does not adhere to normal Rioja classification but has been aged 19 months in French and American oak. It is a classic, maturing and softening yet well structured Rioja showing very well at 10+ years - even still showing some ruby tone. It has a generous nose of blueberry/plum fruit, violet, a touch of meatiness and shrubby, earthy character. It is medium-full bodied, firm and mineral on the palate with great tension and tannin. The length is excellent. Still needs more time. Best 2024 to 2030+. Tasted April 2022.
