MOUTH Remarkable acidity, dry, full-bodied and extensive. Nice cacao and black chocolate flavours. Long on the palate, with elegant "terroir". * Ageing on natural fine lees, which is raised at regular intervals during a period of time (between 2 - 6 months).

CLIMATICAL YEAR A very dry cold winter with temperatures evendropping to -15? C. Some strong snowfalls. Buds came earlier than previous years (02.04.05), and were thankfully not damaged by late frosts. The flowering was followed by a rapid vegetative growth under high temperatures (up to 45 C) accompanied by strong easterly winds. Slow ripening because of severe draught. Harvested from mid August until early October. In general terms, it was a very dry year, without fungus attacks. Very healthy grapes, despite the draught, they reached a high rate of acidity and sugar and were well balanced. Crop was only 10% inferior to previous years.

AVERAGE TEMPERATURE 14,8 C. ANNUAL RAIN FALL During vegetative cycle (March-September): 82 ltr. Year Total: 287 ltr
