Pago de Los Capellanes Parcela El Picon 1998

More intense rainfall year with rainfall levels higher than usual. These factors forced the harvest was delayed until 20 October. Process: fermentation in conical wooden cubes and then aged in oak barrels (75% Allier, Nevers 25%) for 26 months. The resulting wine has 14 avg. alcohol.
Visually it is medium to dark ruby ​​color, with a brown-clay trim denoting its 14 years. On nose offers aromas of medium intensity, spicy red fruit standing out, underbrush, flowers and tertiary symptoms like elegant leathers. We return to it at the end of the tasting and it dodn’t stopped evolving, now offering aromas of curry, underbrush and powerful red licorice.
On palate it’s medium bodied, elegant, with excellent acidity hinting plenty of life still ahead. The tannins are present but fully integrated, sweet, toasted flvours. Very balanced on the palate, elegant, harmonious with red fruit dominating again for a notably long finish (cellartracker)
