L'avis des experts

Tim Atkin:

Very different in style from the more powerful 2015 release, although this 2016 still has 15.5% alcohol, the latest bottling of El Anejón also has a much higher percentage of Tempranillo, with 4% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon making up the balance. Sourced from a single parcel on limestone at 850 metres, it's wonderfully floral and fresh, with violet and black cherry notes, fine new wood and a hint of stony reduction. 2023-35

The Wine Advocate:

A cooler vintage produced a fresher 2016 El Anejón that is more fluid and has better-integrated oak. The blend is quite different from the 2015 because of the conditions of the vintage, 94% Tinto Fino, 4% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon that matured in new barriques for 12 months. It has a nose of ripe black fruit and sweet spices and a medium to full-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins and a long, dry finish. This was first produced in 2009. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2018. It's evolving quite slowly in bottle
