The 2004 Nattan is made up of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Tannat. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up a brooding bouquet of underbrush, brier, spice box, blackberry, and black cherry. Concentrated, dense, and structured on the palate, it has the balance to evolve gracefully for another 3-4 years. If it all comes together, my score will seem conservative.
Bodegas Buezo's three offerings from the relatively new DO of Arlanza are uniformly excellent.
