El Tiznado 2018
Beschrijving
El Tiznado is typisch voor de bodem in dit gebied vanwege zijn kleur, want zanderige bodems die zwart zijn door ijzeroxide zijn niet zo vaak te vinden. Deze arme bodem zorgt voor donkerder fruit en een indrukwekkende, evenwichtige structuur. We hebben het over een wijn waarvan minder dan duizend flessen worden geproduceerd en die afkomstig is van een wijngaard die in 1923 is geënt. Een juweeltje uit de streek San Vicente de la Sonsierra, ideaal voor de meest avontuurlijke wijnliefhebbers

The 2018 El Tiznado is pure Tempranillo from a plot called El Hoyo in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. It was planted in 1923 with a diversity of clones of Tempranillo (I guess an old massal selection) on red limestone soils at 500 meters in altitude. The destemmed grapes fermented in small oak vats for 21 days, followed by malolactic and élevage in new 228-liter French oak barrels for 18 months. It seems like the wine was more compressed by the smaller barrels and shows more influence from the wood than the Los Yelsones, which had a similar élevage but in 500-liter barrels. There is a creamy and luxurious twist and some sweet fruit in the palate that make it sleek and give it a slightly more commercial profile. The tannins are fine and the texture is velvety, very pleasant. Only 866 bottles and 50 magnums were filled in June 2020.
This comes from the Ábalos side of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and is a pure Tempranillo from a vineyard planted in 1923 on sandstone and red clay soils. Deeply coloured, powerful and intense it's a rich, perfumed, glossy red from Eduardo Eguren, with coffee bean and
vanilla top notes, serious, sinewy tannins, dark cherry fruit and a real sense of energy and tension. 2025-32
Lastly, the 2018 El Tiznado is another single vineyard and comes from more sandy, limestone soils on a southwest sloping parcel planted in 1923. A deeper, richer wine, it offers notes of blackcurrants, cedary spices, candied orange peel, and violets. As with all three of these releases, it has plenty of background oak as well as medium to full-bodied richness, ripe, present tannins, considerable elegance, and a great finish. This classic, age-worthy Tempranillo is going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and evolve for two decades.
