L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The new wine at Torre de Oña is the 2012 Martelo, mostly Tempranillo (but always with some Mazuelo, Garnacha and even Viura) from a single-vineyard slope containing the older vines of the estate, which names the wine. It fermented with natural yeasts and went through malolactic in new barrels, then it matured in used barriques (80% American) for 24 months. This was almost an experimental wine, with the elegant and balanced profile I see in the 2014s, with a little more ripeness and concentration, but nevertheless an impressive debut. The nose is changing, losing the primary character and developing further complexity. The tannins are fine, and the texture and mouthfeel are soft but with clout. 40,000 bottles were filled in March 2016. This new wine will only be produced in certain vintages, cooler years with gentle tannins that allow for long and balanced aging".

James Suckling:

"Pure fruit to this with balance and finesse. Full to medium body, firm and polished tannins. Shows purity. Drink now".
