The 2014 ‘Condado de Haza’ by Alejandro Fernandez is a 100% Tempranillo wine, sourced from their estate vineyards. This shows toasty oak with lovely savory character on the nose with red fruits and bell pepper accents. The mouthfeel and texture here is excellent as the wine delivers beautiful earthy tones with red and dark fruit flavors and a touch of chocolate. With bright acidity, this will cellar well over the next decade. Drink 2019-2029- 91

Mar 21st, 2019Moderately extracted purple-red, excellent clarity. Canned green bean and black currant notes in nose initially, the veg notes changes to briar after an hour. Black currant and blackberry flavors, chewy tannins, tart berry finish, light but chewy seed tannin astringency in aftertaste. Worth decanting this one at least three hours, else it will be a bit lacking in fruit. Good acidity for food here.
