Note di degustazione
Inky ruby. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, Moroccan spices and floral pastilles, along with suggestions of cola, licorice and smoky minerals. Shows a suave blend of depth and energy to the sharply focused black raspberry, cherry vanilla, star anise and candied violet flavors, which deepen and become sweeter with aeration. Well-knit tannins add grip to a penetrating finish that leaves behind notes of dark berry preserves and spicecake.

The flagship 2017 Terreus Paraje De Cueva Baja checks in as 100% Tempranillo, sourced from a handful of top sites, that spent 20 months in French oak. It has a fabulous sense of elegance and purity as well as full-bodied richness, assorted blacker fruits, and complex notes of graphite, crushed stone, spice box, and violets. It offers ample concentration, yet it shines just as much for its purity of fruit, silky tannins, and flawless balance. It's already impossible to resist but has the balance and structure to evolve for 15 years or more.
I also tasted the 2017 Terreus Paraje de Cueva Baja, which had amazing balance even after only one month after bottling. There is amazing finesse and balance, the oak is beautifully integrated and the wine is floral and terribly pleasant. They did a softer vinification with a shorter maceration, and they used less new oak. It all paid off. This has to be among the finest 2017s from the Duero zone. 9,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.
