Tasting Notes and Scores

18 FC

100% Tempranillo. Vines an average of 40 years old. 100 hectares on the highest terraces far from the Ebro in San Vicente, Labastida, Ábalos, Navaridas and Elvillar. Limestone soils with a sandy clay texture and a greater presence of gravel. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic conversion took place in barrels and tanks. Aged for 16 months in French oak foudres (one-third) and barrels (two-thirds). Subsequent ageing of 28 months in the bottle. This is the vintage of the COVID-19 pandemic, which means that it was a very complex vintage logistically. But 2020 was a very rainy year in September, so guaranteeing the health of the grapes was an added challenge. Production: 98,835 bottles, 3,557 magnums, 119 double magnums, 31 Imperials and 5 Salmanazars. Cedar, clove and nutmeg melt over a fruity undertone. Chalky tannins and a very fine palate. It is classicism well understood because the barrel is in the foreground but does not overpower it. Smooth and silky on the palate. It is a wine that has not yet produced any tertiary aromas/flavours, so its potential for evolution is very high. A serious wine with that fruit in the background. It is a lighter vintage than Macán's usual trend, but it is very well defined. (FC)
