Surprisingly enough, the 2019 Amancio feels fresher, younger and with more integrated oak and finer tannins than the 2018 I tasted next to it, a bit of a contradiction, because the style of the vintages should normally mean the opposite. It is medium to full-bodied, with fine tannins and nice balance. 5,000 bottles were filled in February 2022.

A rich, full-bodied red in a sculpted, harmonious package, this shows a generous range of blackberry paste and black cherry reduction flavors, with aromatic accents of tar, tea rose, melted licorice, eucalyptus and graphite. Bright and silky as this glides on the palate, expanding through a lasting finish firmed by fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2039. 416 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
