Sierra Cantabria Finca El Bosque 2015 is a single-vineyard Rioja produced from old Tempranillo vines. These vines deliver a massive concentration of black fruit and toasted spice in this decade-old wine. The vineyard is situated on a high-density gravel terrace which provides the wine with a firm tannic grip and a deep balsamic complexity. The 2015 vintage was particularly warm and resulted in a bottling with powerful ripeness and a long persistent finish of espresso and dark chocolate. It is aged in new French and American oak which adds a layer of cedar and clove to the dense fruit core.

Vinous
(all de-stemmed fruit; fermented in an open-topped, 1,000 liter French oak tank, with malo and 18 months of aging in new French and Central European oak barrels) Lurid violet color. Highly expressive raspberry and boysenberry scents, along with suggestions of candied lavender, exotic spices and smoky minerals. Densely packed and energetic on the palate, displaying impressive clarity to its suave, red/blue fruit liqueur, floral pastille and spicecake flavors. Manages to come off as both rich and lithe, with zero rough edges. Seamless and sharply delineated on the extremely persistent finish, which features a bright mineral flourish that adds intense final lift.Josh Raynolds1st February 2019
