Once again, I tasted the 2014 Termanthia, a selection from 120-year-old ungrafted vines that is heady, ripe and powerful, voluptuous and juicy, with lots of concentration, tannins and everything else, powerful and ripe, impressive and showy. It's teeth-staining dark, with abundant tannins, a round, lush texture and gobs and gobs of fruit. It seems to be evolving very slowly, and the tannins still need some powerful food. 8,500 bottles and 250 magnums were filled in June 2016.

Pretty purity and balance to this with crushed black cherry, dark chocolate and some walnut and toasted-oak undertones. It’s full-bodied and flavorful with chewy tannins and an attractive core of fruit at the finish. A year or two will allow this to soften. Try after 2021.

This generous yet refined red shows a flashy, polished texture and supports expressive layers of blackberry, espresso, oak spice, wild herb and loamy earth flavors. This is muscular and well crafted, with elements of anise, red plum and rose petal fine tuning the finish. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made, 400 cases imported.
Winery
Color: Ripe cherry, high layer, without evolution. Aroma: Intense and captivating, suggestive and complex With multiple aromatic layers. We find in the first instance black fruits such as currants and cassis, violet flower, spices like clove and nutmeg, tobacco leaf and fresh notes of thyme and rosemary, with a great balance and harmony. Palate: Termanthia shows a full and generous attack. A great expression with a lot of delicacy. Black fruits, violets, notes of scrubland, and sweet spices cover the mouth with harmony. The finish is fresh and long, delicate and balanced.

Varietal: Tempranillo

The Tempranillo grape varietal is often referred to as Spain's 'noble grape', and has over the past century been planted in several countries around the world. Tempranillo grapes produce beautiful ruby red wines, packed full of fascinating flavors which range from intensely fruity, to deep, dark and spicy, holding notes of vanilla, tobacco and leather. Their black skins hold plenty of tannins, and as such, they are often blended with other more rounded or brighter wines, to balance out the character and produce some truly exceptional examples. Tempranillo grapes often fall to a wide range of diseases, and are greatly effected by climatic conditions. They tend to grow best, however, in areas with a mixture of heat and bright sunshine, and brisk breezes which can cool the vines.

Region: Castilla Y Leon

The ancient, arid and beautiful region of Castilla y Leon is the largest in Spain, and amongst the largest single 'regions' in any country of Europe. It has been famed throughout the centuries for its architecture, its people, its art and literature, and not least for its characterful and flavorful wines, which capture the beating heart and passion of Spain and Spanish culture. Castilla y Leon is essentially a vast plateau, and is extremely dry, with a poor soil structure which one might think would make viticulture difficult, if not impossible. However, Castilla y Leon has plenty of native grape varietals which are able to stretch their roots deep underground, to tap into the moisture and minerals which can be found there.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
