Sol de Señorans

There are some new wines this year, three different ones, including an oak-aged 2012 Sol de Señorans, which had a short time in oak (six months in 500-liter barrels from French and Caucasian oak) and a long time in tank (over six years!). You'd think the profile would be similar to the Selección de Añada, but in fact, the aromatic palette is quite different. The oak is imperceptible or very subtle, a faint creaminess, and the wine still feels quite primary, young and harmonious. The palate is seamless and compact, with moderate alcohol and good freshness, the acidity quite integrated, finishing dry and sapid. 2,000 bottles were filled in October 2019.

Aged six months in French and Eastern European barriques. This was one of the wines where there was some doubt about its condition. I wasn't convinced the wine was corked though I don't think either of the bottles did the wine justice. It still showed herbal and zesty lime aromas but the overall effect was slightly astringent.
