This really shows the best that Tempranillo (in this case aged for 12 months in 225L French oak barrels) can do in Labastida, Rioja Alavesa. Nuanced and alluring nose of flint, gunpowder and graphite etched against plum and cherry. Such purity and focus on the palate with beautiful tannins, at once mineral and herbal. Everything is very much in place with superb balance of acid, fruit and alcohol. A fine wine but fundamentally, and quite simply, a joy to drink.
