What a delicious, fresh-toned edition of Yotuel’s special bottling. 100% Tinto de Pais type of Tempranillo made with today’s preference for reductive styles, indicated by the touch of struck flint on the nose. Judicious oak aging leads to a refined, pixelated grippiness that elegantly shapes and grounds this powerful wine.
JANCIS ROBINSON 17 – “Tasted blind. This is made to impress: a huge load of high-quality toasted wood. Cedar, vanilla, toast and liquorice. The fruit expresses itself later, albeit in a very intense and concentrated way. The tannins are massive and incredibly textured, totally polished. Impressive texture. This is a huge wine and still young. Chocolate and mint on the back palate. Impressive and huge – 1990s US style. Anguix proves once again that it is one of the best villages in Ribera del Duero.
100% Tinta del País. Vineyards in Anguix with vines over 80 years old and southern exposure. Clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvested. The bunches were destemmed prior to fermentation. Malolactic conversion in new French oak barrels and subsequent ageing in the same vessels for 14 months. 2,496 bottles and 100 magnums produced.” -Ferran Centelles
