Familia Torres, Las Pisadas Rioja, 75cl, 2017

Impressively dark pigment, very opaque and undiminished by the years. A masterfully crafted wine (remarkable fruit extraction and concentration of the fermented must). A range of rich, refined aromas, from floral notes (rose) to very ripe fruit (blackberry, dried figs), with subtle, unusual nuances of smoky wood fire. Velvety and firm with a backbone of ripe, fine-grained tannins. Flavourful and fascinating, because its youthful spirit is still present after all these the years.
