Note di degustazione
(aged for a year in used French oak barrels) Lurid ruby. Explosive aromas of ripe red berries, incense and candied flowers, along with strong suggestions of Asian spices and smoky minerals. Palate-staining, spice-laced raspberry, bitter cherry and candied rose flavors become sweeter and deeper with aeration, without losing energy. In a lithe, elegant style but in no way lacking for depth of flavor or power. Closes seamless, sweet and strikingly long; suave, well-knit tannins contribute shape.

The 2013 Ultreia de Valtuille has some aromas of cereals and straw, with a character that reminded me of the Cepas Centenarias from Castro Ventosa, and it turns out that the grapes are sourced from the same zone of Valtuille. This has delivered what the barrel sample promised last year; it is extremely elegant, with very fine tannins and great acidity - extremely Burgundian, complex, elegant and subtle. This is superb. Approachable and able to age. 3,500 bottles produced.
