The old-vine 2012 Teixar is produced with the Peluda strain of the variety, sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1956. It's ripe and heady with notions of cooked fruit and Mediterranean herbs. The full-bodied palate revealed abundant, dusty tannins and moderate acidity. It could do with a little more freshness to compensate the high ripeness. But within the XXL style, it's quite good. 3,200 bottles.
