The 2009 Capricho is Tempranillo from their oldest vineyard, from an extremely dry harvest that is barrel-fermented and aged for 20 months in wood. It seems to be a powerful, concentrated and ambitious red with dark berry aromas intermixed with organic notes of peat, forest floor and strong aromatics of fountain pen ink and graphite with plenty of spicy undertones. The palate is medium-bodied, but the fruit is receding and the drying tannins are taking over the wine, so I’d opt for drinking it sooner rather than later. Only 1,000 bottles were produced. This is a wine that is only produced in exceptional vintages. Drink now-2015. I hear about a generational replacement and a change of winemaker at La Legua, one of the classical names in Cigales. Are the winds of change blowing? We’ll see in the following years. No known American importer.
