Description

Finca La Emperatriz Reserva 2014 est un bel exemple d'équilibre entre classicisme et modernité. Particulièrement élégant et frais et en bouche, avec des tanins lissés et savoureux, il exprime clairement le caractère du Tempranillo, mais repose également sur une utilisation soigneuse du chêne français et du chêne américain.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The classical 2014 Finca la Emperatriz Reserva was cropped from a challenging vintage, where vineyard work made all the difference. It is a blend of Tempranillo with 3% Garnacha, 2% Viura and 1% Graciano fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and a short maceration. It matured in 70% American and 30% French oak barrels for 22 months. It was my favorite from the selection I tasted. I found it serious, balanced and nicely integrated, with the oak neatly folded into the fruit, subtle and elegant. It's medium-bodied with good freshness and very fine tannins. 42,000 bottles and 985 magnums were filled in July 2016.
