Bringing back Malaga from the dead, Telmo Rodriguez does it again.
Stylistically this is halfway between Sauternes and Pantelleria - combining the waxy creamy botrytis character with the extravagant exotic notes of Passito di Pantelleria. Candid apricot, orange peel, a pinch of spice, overripe peach.
Unabashedly sweet & indulgent but beautifully balanced and nicely poised.
A killer desert wine and quite delicious. — 9 months ago

Déjà âgé de 12 ans cette cuvée confidentielle provenant d'une minuscule parcelle de 1,9 hectares de vieilles vignes. La robe est de beau rubis. Le nez est agréable et complexe, des prunes, du bois, des herbes et une touche médicinal. Il bouge dans le temps. La bouche est superbe, les tanins sont souples et assagit. Il offre de beaux fruits noirs et des prunes. La finale est longue, très longue. À plus de 200$ on doit s'attendre à ce genre de produit, par contre le prix est plus pour la rareté que la qualité intrinsèque. — 8 months ago

As a Garnachista, I’m embarrassed to say that this, I think, is my first Garnacha from Sierra de Gredos. I may be late to the party but I showed up. Wonderful ripe Grenache fruit, loads of kirsch, a bit of raspberry. Powdered rock dust minerality. It’s a big boy. I broke my “No 15%” rule in buying this. But the alcohol seems balanced. Really nice flavor density. A surprising whack of tannin in the back half of the palate. Lots of savory flavors to augment the fruit. — a month ago
