This is an excellent buy; the quality of the fruit is top drawer & the winemaking is as clean as a whistle which allows the natural minerality of the regions to shine through. They allow the wine to spend 6 months in new French & American oak to give added structure so this shares many characteristics of a crianza once opened. The nose is very pure & the palate concentrated; whilst the powerful tannins dominate at first these fade to provide a lovely mouthfeel & balance once the wine has breathed a while. Spicy smooth & highly recommended.
