A wonderfully pure single vineyard Tempranillo produced from vines planted in deep gravel soils, giving wines with a distinctive, firm tannic character. A rare find from the 1996 vintage from the Abadía Retuerta wine estate on the banks of the River Duero.

Vinous
Saturated deep ruby. Complex, primal aromas of wild berries (boysenberry, blackberry), aromatic herbs and tar. Powerful and unevolved in the mouth, with a strong acid structure currently giving the wine a toughness and restraining its sweetness. This is truly tempranillo with buns of steel. Finishes with powerful tannins, resounding and extremely persistent dark berry flavors, and a strong flavor of caramel oak. An extraordinary sample of tempranillo, but in need of considerable bottle aging. May ultimately merit another point or three.
