Spain / The meteorology at the time said it was a very good year. The vegetative cycle lasted 220 days, which is a good start, the rain wasn’t lacking: 476L. Summer with rain is another lucky characteristic of the climate for big wines and the results was strong graduation and cherry fragrance, well balanced and intense color, sometimes when you move the glass you will see a typical red-ruby tone and a soft sensation in mouth, a little bit acid, with a pleasant final of toasted character under and above the tongue. The sensation of tannin, although weak, covers all the area. At the end, as the fruit of the care of the vid and an earth particularly able for strong and soft wines, the vintage of 1942 appeared. This is the philosophy of the quality: effort in the conjunction of the soil, climate and vine. Season also marked with the smell of oak as a consequence of saws, brushes and chisels restoring “cones” of fermentation in the ancient warehouse.
