Following the updated classical profile of wines, the 2009 La Vicalanda Reserva feels a bit ripe with notes of prunes. It's pure Tempranillo aged for 14 months in oak (at least 50% of the barrels were new) and it shows in the palate where you feel the astringency of the tannins and the fruit is somehow muted, ending quite dry. I wonder if these wines need this much time or such a high percentage of new oak. 55,000 bottles produced.
