The 2008 La Mala is also a single vineyard offering that was aged in 50% new French oak for 16 months. It delivers an already complex perfume of exotic spices, incense, lavender, black cherry, and blackberry. Elegant on the palate with well concealed fine-grained tannins, it will evolve effortlessly for another 4-6 years and will see its 20th birthday in fine form. Dominio de Atauta owns a considerable amount of centenarian Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) vineyard due to the sandy, phylloxera-resistant soil in its estate. Importer: Aviva Vino, New York, NY; Tel.
