Note di degustazione
With an almost caramel-toffee-like sweetness on the nose, the medium-bodied 2018 La Diva offers upfront tannins and oak, which give it power and intensity, while still maintaining a juicy freshness of crisp red cherry and strawberry on the palate. Well-integrated and in a good place, drink now through 2038.

The 2018 La Diva comes from an ungrafted plot on sandy and limestone terraces, 0.35 hectares planted with Tempranillo and some 5% Albillo. The destemmed grapes fermented in an open-top oak vat with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in second and third use Burgundian barrels for 19 months. This is simply superb, elegant and powerful, an improved version of the already superb 2016. It has a very fine thread on the palate, beautifully textured and complete, with very fine chalky tannins and a long, dry and serious finish. Unfortunately, only 382 bottles, 19 magnums and one Jeroboam were produced. It was bottled in June 2020. This has 14% alcohol and is completely in balance.
