Es 2010

I hope the producer does not get angry with me since this vintage is still not on the market, but my enthusiasm and my desire to talk about it were too great and so I hope he will close a benevolent eye. The color has violet nuances typical of a youth that is almost embarrassing, while what is surprising is that the color is a little less impenetrable than usual and that it unleashes an unreal luminosity. The aroma is truly unusual for an ES, more cautious is expressing itself and with its many facets more articulated, very spicy, with some blood-like scents and a finish that is slightly vegetal. The taste is surprising, decidedly more austere and rigorous, with no concessions to the glyceric rotundness or flickering softness. The acidity is cutting and greatly increases is drinkability. They explained to me that the characteristics of the growing season produced this result, so I hope ti will be true for the other vintages as well given this surprising result. The finish is fantastic, long and rewarding. This is perhaps the best version of this wine seen so far, but then I said this about the 2009 as well, so we welcome this work-in-progress of such great satisfaction.
