The 2009 Majuelos de Callejo comes from 35-year-old organically cultivated vines and is raised in 50% new French oak for 18 months. There is just a slight touch of over-maturity on the nose, although the palate is better balanced than I anticipated with fine acidity. However, the finish is very tight and a little monotone compared to some of Callejo’s other (impressive) 2009s. Drink 2013-2018.
