100% Tempranillo aus einer der besten und exponiertesten Einzellage Spaniens, 24 Monate in neuen Barriques aus französischer Eiche ausgebaut.
Tiefe, dichte rubinrote Farbe mit granatrotem Rand. Komplexes Bukett von reifen schwarzen Kirschen, Pflaume und dunklen Brombeeren, ergänzt durch elegante Noten von dunkler Schokolade, geröstetem Kaffee, Mineralität und einem Hauch Lakritz. Am Gaumen kräftiger, fülliger Einstieg mit feinkörniger, kraftvoll strukturierter Tanninbasis. Aromen von schwarzem Fruchtkompott, mediterranen Kräutern und subtiler Eiche prägen den Geschmack. Die 24-monatige Reifung in neuen französischen Barriques verleiht Tiefe und Länge mit einem nachhaltigen, würzigen Finish. Im Abgang langanhaltend und samtig, mit einem harmonischen Spiel aus Frucht, Würze und feiner Mineralität. Trinkreife: 2025-2040.

Wine Advocate: "The single-vineyard 2021 Amancio shows a lot of complexity, with notes of ripe fruit, aromatic herbs and a touch of licorice. It fermented in small oak vats and matured in new French oak barrels, including malolactic, for 26 months. They believe the complexity of the wine, that some people call baroque, comes from the many different soils they have in a plot of 16.5 hectares, from which they make a very strict selection of the plants that have less bunches. This wine has more freshness and is less balsamic than in other vintages. This is a more powerful wine, if La Nieta is more elegant."

"This classy red shows a broad-shouldered, statuesque form, fleshed out nicely by a rich mesh of blackberry coulis and ripe, crushed mulberry fruit, with accents of dark chocolate, mountain herbs, smoke, toasted paprika and cumin. Finely knit and fluid on the palate, with fresh focus on the lasting finish. "

"The 2021 Amancio comes from Finca La Veguilla, planted in 1979 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Aged for 26 months in new French oak barriques, the nose is ripe and primary, with black fruit, plum, iodine and subtle oak over a backdrop of aromas from the aging process. Broad and creamy on the palate, it has good volume and a gentle juiciness in which the supple texture lasts through to the finish. This modern expression of Rioja places the emphasis on fruit."

Sporting a deep purple color as well as a great nose of blue fruits, darker currants, lead pencil shavings, and graphite, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, nicely integrated acidity, plenty of ripe tannins, and a great finish. It has some smoky oak to integrate yet holds onto a beautiful sense of purity and freshness. It's another brilliant wine from this estate."
