Note di degustazione
Opaque ruby. Powerful aromas of ripe black/blue fruits, licorice and candied flowers, with hints of black tea and woodsmoke emerging as the wine opens up. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering blackcurrant and bitter cherry flavors that show impressive depth and appealing sweetness. Finishes very long and youthfully chewy, with dusty tannins framing lingering blueberry and cherry-cola qualities.

The riper and warmer year resulted in a 2015 La Penitencia that was surprisingly fresh but still headier and more aromatic than El Pecado from the same vintage. The grapes were sourced from the Pombeiras vineyard from Guímaro, a vineyard that tends to deliver highly expressive and aromatic wines with heady aromas of violets that often remind me of a Touriga Nacional from Portugal. The palate is juicy with a soft texture and subtle flavors, lifted by the fine minerality and a dry finish. All these wines keep changing in the glass, and they should develop more nuances and further complexity in bottle. 900 bottles were filled in February 2017.
