Note di degustazione
(all de-stemmed fruit; fermented in an open-topped, 1,000 liter French oak tank, with malo and 18 months of aging in new French and Central European oak barrels) Lurid violet color. Highly expressive raspberry and boysenberry scents, along with suggestions of candied lavender, exotic spices and smoky minerals. Densely packed and energetic on the palate, displaying impressive clarity to its suave, red/blue fruit liqueur, floral pastille and spicecake flavors. Manages to come off as both rich and lithe, with zero rough edges. Seamless and sharply delineated on the extremely persistent finish, which features a bright mineral flourish that adds intense final lift.

From a single vineyard consisting of alluvial, iron-rich soils, the 2015 Finca el Bosque is 100% Tempranillo aged 18 months in new 95% French and 5% European oak barrels. This deep, inky-colored effort offers sensational notes of blackberries, blueberries, scorched earth, graphite, and lead pencil. Full-bodied, elegant, layered and beautiful on the palate, with sweet tannin and a great finish, drink it anytime over the coming two decades.
2015 is a ripe and powerful vintage, and the 2015 El Bosque shows it. It's open, expressive, hedonistic and a little intoxicating, with the concentration of fruit to hide the aromas from the élevage. The fruit is in the foreground and the spices and smoky notes are in the background. It's more open, expressive and balanced than the 2014. A great vintage for El Bosque, one of the finest ever. 5,000 bottles were filled in August 2017.
