Vintage 2016

SPAIN 2016 will be remembered for the piles of grapes thrown to the ground in Rioja. Our most renowned wine region, as well as Navarra and most appellations in Castilla y León, registered very high yields in sharp contrast with Mediterranean wine regions where drought led to below-average production levels.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is yellow, and looking bright and medium. On the nose it is mature, seductive and complex. The taste is full, fruity, elegant, perfumed, toasty, and dry, warming, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with well-structured structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has buttery, white fruits, apricot, toasty, bread, dried-fruit and floral flavours. The finish is long and vibrant. This wine is impressive. I paid around 10-30€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 30min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
