Wine Advocate | Rating: 93
The luxury cuvee, the 2003 Neo Daniel, offers a knock-out nose of sweet, smoky new oak interwoven with creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, and flowers. Medium to full-bodied and silky smooth, with well-integrated wood, superb fruit concentration, and a long, layered, firm finish, this 2003 will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age.Drink Dates: 2006-2015Author: Robert Parker
The attention this boutique winery has been receiving is very well-deserved. The project is the fulfillment of a dream for three young men - Javier Ajenjo, Julio Cesar Conde, and Jose Luis Simon - who are creating stunning wines. Isaac Fernandez - the nephew of Mariano Garcia, ex-winemaker for Vega Sicilia - excels at bringing the myriad faces of Tempranillo to its fullest potential with the "Neo" wines. They are 100% Tempranillo, grown in limestone and clay soils within a continental climate that sees quite a disparity between daytime and nighttime temperatures. The vines are 50+ years old and the wines, vinified separately by lot, are aged in new French oak for 14 months.
