Very dense and tannic, but there's also plenty of fruit with mulberries on the nose. Is this pushing the envelope one step too far? Although the wine has powerful tannins, somehow it balances out and tastes fresh – an amazing feat. Better from 2018.

Product Description:

"Orben creates a new wine concept based on old vineyards in Rioja Alavesa. 74 micro parcels of Tempranillo in the surroundings of Villabuena and Laguardia. Careful selection of grapes and the best technology get together in order to find the essence of the Tempranillo from the region, running away from the most traditional styles in the benefit of fruit, modernity, personality and elegance." -Importer
