Kirjeldus

El Picon on Pago de los Capellanese veinimaja esivein. Vein on valmistatud 100% Tempranillo viinamarjadest, mis pärinevad savisest lubjakivi pinnasega üksikust 2 hektari suurusest veiniaiast. Saagikus on madal, alla 5 tonni hektari kohta. Peale viinamarjade hoolikat ja mitmekordset selekteerimist toimub alkoholkäärimine kontrollitud temperatuuril 40 päeva. Toimub ka aeglane malolaktline käärimine 22 kraadi juures 24 päeva suurtes Prantsuse tammevaatides. Vein on laagerdunud 26 kuud uutes Prantsuse tammevaatides.

Aroomis on tunda puuviljasust, Prantsuse tammest tulenevat kaneeli, nahka, tubakat, trühvleid ning lagritsat. Maitse on komplekssne, tunda on magusaid tanniine ja tugevat struktuuri. Järelmaitse on äärmiselt kauakestev. El Piconi võib vanandada aastakümneid. Serveerida 16-18 kraadi juures ning dekanteerida 1 tund enne serveerimist. Aastane toodang vaid 2 500 pudelit.

“Intense cherry red with youthful, bright purple and violet hues along the rim. On the nose highly complex and broad intensity, upfront aromas of wild blackberries, plums, and underbrush. Seamlessly integrated with French oak nuances including cinnamon, leather, tobacco, black liquorice, and a hint of truffle. Entry palate is complex and powerful, sweet velvety tannins that completely envelop the palate with an exquisite, rounded mouthfeel. It possesses a powerful structure, lively balanced acidity, and a very long, persistent finish.” Guía Peñín 95 points

“A rich red in a modern style, with lavish mocha, anise and sweet spice accents to the flavors of blackberry, black currant and dried fig. Full-bodied and concentrated, with finely sculpted, dense tannins and a vibrant line of acidity, this shows a long, persistent and mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2038.” Wine Spectator 94 points

“A juicy and spicy Ribera del Duero showing excellent complexity here with some sweet spices, walnuts, chocolate and blackberries. Full-bodied and polished on the palate with silky tannins and a lengthy finish. Outstanding quality. Drink or hold.”A juicy and spicy Ribera del Duero showing excellent complexity here with some sweet spices, walnuts, chocolate and blackberries.
