El Anejón 2020

Rich, deep and complex nose of baked plums, dark cherries, cocoa powder, hoisin sauce, black mushrooms and mussel shells. Effortlessly full-bodied with abundant, powdery tannins on the palate. Long and densely packed, yet really polished. Drink or hold. (Zekun Shuai).

El Anejón uses grapes from a 9.3-hectare vineyard that's spread across the terraces around the bodega and is a well-judged assemblage of Tinto Fino, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot. Aged in 25% new 600-litre barrels, it shows the intensity and full body of a comparatively warm site, with aromas of wild herbs  and  Asian spices, perfumed oak, fig and summer berry flavours and supple, palate-caressing tannins. 2025-30
