...It has ripe tannins and a powerful mouthfeel but with a soft texture...had some French grapes, mainly Merlot, but this 2012 is the first Valbuena ever to be really 100% Tempranillo...It follows the path opened by the 2010, more precise and elegant, rounded by that extra time in larger vats to finish polishing the tannins...It has depth and elegance, more serious than Alión..
Lightly charred, toasty berry aromas come with a full covering of clove and baking spice scents in this plush wine. The palate is edged with drying tannins, bolstering exotic berry, spice and herbal flavors. Its long, balanced finish features chocolate and unabsorbed oak.
Primary dark berry and cherry scents are complemented by suggestions of vanilla, coconut, cured tobacco and cedary oak and accented by a suave floral topnote. Sappy, concentrated and expansive in the mouth, offering sweet black raspberry, cherry-vanilla and candied licorice flavors that are supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Unfolds slowly with air, picking up a spicy quality that carries through the very long, gently tannic finish, which echoes the cherry and coconut notes....
Tobacco and cedar notes frame dried cherry, plum, loamy earth and menthol flavors in this savory red. Below the polished texture, firm tannins and balsamic acidity lend structure. Old-school, but harmonious and deep...
Rich black-cherry fruit. Juicy and finely ground texture, and the fruit is impressively pure, but there is perhaps a lack of elegance compared with the 2013. Tender and flavoursome on the finish.
