Note di degustazione
Deep, glistening ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, vanilla, allspice and smoky minerals, and a suave floral topnote emerges with air. Gently chewy and sweet on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry, cherry-vanilla and candied lavender flavors plus a deeper suggestion of bitter chocolate. Polished, well-knit tannins give shape to a very long, sweet finish that features hints of smokiness and baking spices.

The eponymous red 2015 Finca Villacreces is a dark, ripe and concentrated blend of Tempranillo with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot produced in a slightly international style with plenty of oak flavors and aromas. It's a rich, full-bodied red with plenty of tannins in need of some more time in bottle and powerful food. 73,324 bottles produced.
From a site the borders Vega Sicilia (I think that’s a good neighbor to have), the 2015 Finca Villacreces is a blockbuster blend of 86% Tempranillo and the balance equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged 14 months in new French oak, it boasts a deep, saturated purple color as well as pedal-to-the-metal notes of blackcurrants, white chocolate, raspberries, and lead pencil. With full-bodied richness, a ripe, sexy texture, and building tannin, it has plenty of fruit yet still has a terrific sense of purity and elegance. It’s a beautiful wine that I suspect will keep for a decade or more.
A solid dose of violety florals, ripe plum and dark berry fruit. Tannins push this wine along while a youthful energy pervades. Structure, concentration and balance. Best from 2020.
