I was also pleasantly surprised by the 2015 Nebro, a wine that in the past was not easy to understand with its ripeness, concentration and hefty dose of new oak. It comes from vines planted in 1920 that fermented in an open-top oak vat with indigenous yeasts and matured in second use Darnajou barrels for 18 months, a longer élevage than in previous years. I think it's quite a change from previous vintages, and even in a year like 2015, which was warm and dry, it managed to keep its poise; it felt young and lively, and even though there are plenty of grainy tannins, they seem gentler than before. I look forward to future vintages of this bottling... 1,099 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in July 2017.
