The 2005 Pujanza Cisma is sourced from a single vineyard, named La Valcavada, with over 100-year-old vines at high altitude. The wine went through malolactic fermentation in new oak and then spent 18 months in new French barriques prior to being bottled unfiltered. Even more expressive than the Norte, it exhibits notes of wood smoke, mineral, saddle leather, truffle, espresso, black raspberry, and blackberry. This leads to a dense, formidably packed, muscular wine with gobs of fruit and plentiful tannin. The flavors are pleasing but this is a wine that will require patience. Give it 12-15 years to unfold and drink this behemoth through 2050. If it evolves as I think it will, in 10-15 years my score will be seen as conservative.
