COMMENT
樹齢55年以上、収量12hl/haという古樹のモナストレルから生まれるトップキュヴェ。
その名の通り、18ヶ月間バリックで熟成。
熟した黒い果実の力強いアロマに溶け込んだスパイスやカカオ、トーストの香りが心地よい。
熟した果実に気品ある酸、どっしりとしたタンニンが混然一体となり、グラスの中で花開く。
収量を抑えた3種のブドウをブレンドすることにより生まれたとびきりの凝縮感と複雑さが楽しめる。

The regular 2022 Blue Label (there's also a special cuvée in 2022) was still matured in new oak, but they used less toast and barrels from coopers that marked the wine less. It was produced with a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah and had an élevage of 18 months. It's aromatic, spicy and toasty, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, ripe berries and aromatic herbs. It's ripe at 15.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.71, 5.5 grams of acidity and three grams of residual sugar. It's medium to full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained tannins and some oak-related flavors. 28,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.
