Note di degustazione
(100% tempranillo; from a single vineyard planted in 1945 on pure chalk) Good medium ruby. Dee p aromas of raspberry, black cherry, chocolate and licorice, lifted by a pungent mineral component. Extremely suave and creamy, with sappy flavors of black raspberry and minerals. This opened spectacularly with aeration, showing superb old-viney depth and purity of flavor. In comparison to the Grandes Anades, this is less obviously sweet but smoother on the back end, with finer-grained tannins. As much as I love the Grandes Anades, I seem to gravitate to this wine for its more pronounced minerality and site specificity.

El Pison is a 100% Tempranillo cuvee produced from a single vineyard planted in 1945. The soil is pure limestone, yields are a lowly 18-22 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine is aged for 18-24 months in French oak. The potentially perfect 2001 El Pison has more of everything. While it possesses an extraordinary flavor intensity, it remains light on its feet. (Not yet released) Importer: Eric Solomon, European Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
