Description

On dit souvent que qualité et quantité ne font pas bon ménage. Finca El Bosque, produit par le domaine Viñedos Sierra Cantabria, en est une magnifique démonstration. Issu d’un petit vignoble de seulement 1,5 hectare, niché sur une pente douce protégée par les montagnes du même nom, ce vin aux belles notes balsamiques se révèle fruité, bien structuré et complexe. Un vin franc, expressif, puissant mais sans arêtes.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The 2011 Finca El Bosque again comes from the same site and sees a similar upbringing. Its color is darker than other vintages, because of its youth, and it has an extremely primary nose that is still very ungiving. With time, you start feeling notes of Belgian chocolate, ripe blueberries, blackberries and damsons. The full-bodied palate is juicy with chunky tannins and perfectly integrated acidity that makes the wine coat your mouth without being aggressive. It doesn’t feel like a heavy wine at all, despite being a real bodybuilder underneath a silk robe. It’s so young it feels like eating fresh Tempranillo grapes. A great vintage for El Bosque that will require a good two to three years in bottle to start showing its true value and how power can be combined with elegance. 4,000 bottles produced. Drink 2016-2027".
