Aroomis on tunda suitsu, vaarikaid, lavendlit, mustsõstraid ja aniisi. Maitse on rikkalik, samas elegantne, tunda tugevaid musti puuvilju ning komplekssust lisab mõnus vürtsikus. Järelmaitse on väga pikk ja tunda on ka natuke magusust (tammest). Serveerida 16 kraadi juures. Toodetud 50 000 pudelit. Vananemispotentsiaal 15 – 20 aastat.

“If there is a wine that embodies the terroir-driven focus since the 1990s, it’s San Vicente. The 2020 San Vicente is 100% Tempranillo Peludo, distinguished by its velvety leaves. Sourced from the San Vicente vineyard in the Canoca Valley, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, it aged for 20 months in French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels. This purplish wine offers ripe black fruit aromas and wild herb notes against an oak backdrop. Dry, juicy and taut, the light and fine-grained tannins linger long. A nuanced, modern Rioja, this wine is a masterpiece of Marcos Eguren’s winemaking technique – a truly elegant Tempranillo.” Antonio Galloni Vinous 96 points

“All sourced from La Canoca, a vineyard that is fast developing a reputation as one of the unofficial Grands Crus of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, this 2020 reflects what Marcos Eguren calls a ‘lighter year’. Aged in new French and 10% American oak, it’s a wine that carriesits 14.5% alcohol lightly, with lots of mocha oak, plenty of depth and structure, supporting acidity and flavours of orange zest, blueberry and black cherry. 2025-2035.” Tim Atkin 95 points
