El Anejón 2020 Magnum

The 2020 El Anejón was produced with 93% Tinto Fino, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot, a wine they don't produce every year, selected from a plot that names it, a terraced vineyard. It fermented in small French oak vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in new 600-liter French oak barrels. It shows the warm year with 15% alcohol. It's very aromatic, with notes of prunes, dark cherries and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is lush, glossy and full-bodied, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in the spring of 2022. (Luis Gutiérrez)

Rich, deep and complex nose of baked plums, dark cherries, cocoa powder, hoisin sauce, black mushrooms and mussel shells. Effortlessly full-bodied with abundant, powdery tannins on the palate. Long and densely packed, yet really polished. Drink or hold. (Zekun Shuai).

El Anejón uses grapes from a 9.3-hectare vineyard that's spread across the terraces around the bodega and is a well-judged assemblage of Tinto Fino, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot. Aged in 25% new 600-litre barrels, it shows the intensity and full body of a comparatively warm site, with aromas of wild herbs  and  Asian spices, perfumed oak, fig and summer berry flavours and supple, palate-caressing tannins. 2025-30
