La Roza 2016

The 2016 La Roza follows the style of the 2014—aromatic and perfumed, with the elegance of the sandy soils. It comes from three plots of vines that they reckon are around 170 years of age (!) and which total only 0.24 hectares. It's elegant and subtle, with the elegant tannins from the sandy soils (there's also clay and limestone here, of course), one of the most elegant wines here, and at the same time, it's very complete. 759 bottles were filled in September 2018.

A profound nose of concentrated blackberries, minerals, blueberries, oyster shell, hot stones, dried oregano and spices. Full-bodied with a big mouthful of fine-grained tannins. Powerful, but deep and extremely powdery on the palate, with a long, tight finish. Better from 2024.
