"From a single vineyard (1.7 hectares) of very shallow soils that stresses (and at times kills) the vines, the 2015 La Nieta is another 100% Tempranillo cuvée that was hand destemmed and aged 16 months in new French oak. Awesome notes of blueberries, violets, lead pencil, and hints of chocolate all emerge from this smoking good, rich, textured, balanced beauty. With fine tannin, excellent acidity, and a great finish, it's a gorgeous wine any way you look at it. Drink it anytime over the coming 20+ years"
