Releasing the top white so many years after the harvest means the current 2013 Lapena belongs to a different era when it comes to style. Despite the cold and challenging year, the profile is voluptuous and showy, with plenty of oak-related aromas. The palate also reflects the effect of the élevage in second use 600-liter French oak barrels, where the wine also fermented. After that, it was kept in concrete eggs for a further 11 months before bottling. Only 892 bottles were filled in August 2015. The wine is still lively and young, but I guess it will be marked by the oak for the rest of its life. For those tolerant of oak.
