Finca Villacreces 2016
Fiche technique
L'avis des experts
A fruity and juicy red with plums and hints of coffee and nutmeg. Full body. Chewy tannins, but plenty in the center palate, suggesting focus and potential with bottle age. Drink after 2021 and onwards.
The 2016 Finca Villacreces was produced to showcase the essence of the estate, mixing grapes from different soils fermented and aged separately and then blended into a combination of 88% Tempranillo, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot that fermented in concrete and oak vats and matured in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels for 15 months. I was expecting more freshness here, but I found ripe black fruit and something earthy/organic reminiscent of peat and coal, plenty of fine-grained tannins and ripe and earthy flavors. It's still quite oaky. Surprisingly enough, the 2017 showed better... 71,242 bottles and 535 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2018.
Finca Villacreces toma su nombre del fraile Pedro de Villacreces. Junto a él, varios clérigos se establecieron en la finca para dedicarse a la oración y al cultivo de la tierra.

Un gran ribera!!
Vinazo. El vino ha ido creciendo con la oxigenación. Maridaje de cine con merluza en salsa verde
Perfecto
El vino está bueno, pero no para el precio que tiene. Comparado con la añada del 2012, esto es agua con colorante
Excelente y más considerando su relación calidad/precio. Un valor seguro.
Buenisimo, un pero, algo caro
