I visited the vineyard that names the 2013 El Bosque, a slope overlooking the Ebro River on the left bank; the vines are planted on alluvial and gravel soils south of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. This vineyard always produces very powerful and concentrated wines, which the Eguren family likes to show after all of the other reds from their different projects. Somehow I felt less vibrancy here compared with other 2013s, and the powerful character of the site seems stronger than that of the year. Drainage is so good that even in a rainy year like 2013, the effect is not as noticeable as in other vineyards. There is some creaminess from the oak and the palate is an explosion of ripe black fruit with plenty of fine tannins. 4,300 bottles produced and bottled in July 2015.
