A little nutty, spicy and smoky, the 2014 Majuelos de Callejo has power and elegance, fruit and spice, concentration and balance in a quite classical way but still generously oaked and toasty. For fans of the style, it should be quite good. 15,000 bottles were filled in May 2016.

The more challenging vintage seems to have produced a 2013 Majuelos de Callejo, which didn't quite have the depth of fruit to take 18 months in oak; the wine comes through as very oaky with a medium-bodied palate, lacking a bit in the middle and with a dusty texture where the tannins seem to take the leading role. 15,000 bottles produced.

Aromas of blueberries, flowers and minerals follow through to a full body with fine tannins and a polished and refined finish. Shows finesse. Drink or hold.
