Striking a perfect balance between alcohol and acid, only unsettled by a lengthy finish decidedly tannic that suggests the need to breathe and some time. Perfect for cellaring. (24 months in American oak barrels, and 12 months in bottle before being released for sale.)

This is the original, his flagship winery, which helped to secure the successful fortunes of a nascent wine-producing DO, where the Tempranillo grape variety has always...
