The decadent 2011 III a.C. is a dark-colored, unashamed modern Rioja sold with a generic back label (outside the Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva hierarchy). It is Tempranillo with 2% each Graciano and Mazuelo from old vines matured for 15 months in brand new French oak barrels. It smells of ripe black cherries, peat, decayed violets and a mix of aromatic spices. The palate is lush, round and ripe, with some roasted flavors, ripe fruit and fine-grained tannins, accessible and with a good finish. Only 5,800 bottles were produced.
