Among the reds, it is 65% Tempranillo, 20% Grenache, 2.5% Graciano, 1% Petit Bouschet, and 1.1%, others.

We selected <strong>three vintages<\/strong> for this first edition: 2008, 2009 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> 2008<\/strong> vintage is <strong>fresh,<\/strong> a wine with vigour and less structure. The <strong>2009<\/strong> vintage, in contrast, is <strong>warm<\/strong>, powerful, full-bodied, and glyceric, with a stunning complexity. From the moment it joined the 2008 vintage, their synthesis demonstrated a greatness far superior to each of them separately, as if they were pieces to a puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <strong>2010<\/strong> is a vintage of <strong>balance <\/strong>between the other two, a unique wine of a purity, complexity and finesse that make it unforgettable. The average <strong>ageing<\/strong> of the three vintages was <strong>70 months<\/strong>; that is, almost 6 years.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5110
