The 2019 Torresilo with its iconic orange label cannot go unnoticed. In this warm and ripe vintage, the wine shows clean and ripe fruit, the customary 14.5% alcohol and good freshness and balance, fine-grained tannins and sweet spices and toasty aromas and flavors from the élevage in first, second, third and fourth use barrels for 16 months. Give it a little more time in bottle, and it should sing. 37,636 bottles and 630 magnums produced. It was bottled in August 2021.

The showy 2018 Torresilo has notes of black fruit, graphite and spices in a modern and, at the same time, traditional expression of Ribera del Duero. It's structured but balanced, with a round palate and a velvety mouthfeel. It's medium to full-bodied and reveals fine-grained, chalky tannins and a dry finish. 23,895 bottles and 630 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2020 after 16 months in barrel.

I also tasted the 2017 Torresilo from a vintage decimated by frost, which meant they only produced 8,100 bottles of this wine (compared with 25,000 of the 2016) and didn't bottle the Crianza. I'd say this is a real triumph over the adverse conditions of the year, and they managed to bottle a very balanced wine, not too powerful, with good balance and fine-grained, chalky tannins.

The orange label of the 2016 Torresilo is instantly recognizable, as it was one of the most popular wines of the new Ribera del Duero from the mid-1990s. 2016 has to be one of the finest vintages of this pure Tempranillo. The grapes come from Quintana del Pido and La Aguilera, 35 small plots of old vines (some ancient) that deliver very low yields and concentrated juice. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in new, second, third and fourth use oak barrels. It feels elegant within the rusticity of the zone, with the oak nicely folded into the fruit, with contained ripeness and a juicy mouthfeel, pleasantly textured and balanced, with very fine chalky tannins. Very good indeed. 25,300 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2018.

The creamy and slightly oaky 2015 Torresilo reveals lactic, smoky and roasted aromas, while the palate has chalky tannins but feels quite harmonious, balanced and fresh. 15,000 bottles were filled in April 2017.
