The 2005 Vendimia Seleccionada is sourced from 65-year-old vines in Elciego and is aged for 24 months in new casks. It has a clean, mocha-tinged bouquet with touches of steaming black espresso infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and light red fruit that come across as a little sullen. Then it tapers away a little towards the off-dry finish. Drink now-2015.
