Tasting notes
Saturated violet. Pungent, smoke-tinged cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by suggestions of dried flowers, game and baking spices. Vibrant black and blue fruit flavors become brighter and spicier with air. Finishes long and spicy, with subtle tannins adding gentle grip. All whole clusters and all concrete.

I think the 2018 Terroir Históric follows the path of the 2016, with a little more freshness, and they have finally gotten rid of the reduction that this wine showed in some vintages. It has a clean and explosive nose of red cherries, licorice and fine spices and is clean and focused, pure, really attractive. There is perfect ripeness, enough to provide flavors and aromas without any excess. The palate is medium-bodied with great balance and is pure, delineated and terribly harmonious. 35,000 bottles produced. It's remarkable that they have been able to increase quantity and quality. It was bottled in May 2019.
A fresh and bright red with blueberry and slate aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Tight tannins and a steely finish. Shows energy and focus. No wood. Garnacha and cariñena. Drink now.
