The Pruno is made from 90% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Coming from 60 hectares vineyards in Finca Villacreces and carefuly collected in boxes of 15 kilos and selected manually in sorting table. Aged for 12 months in French oak from the cooperage of Darnajou and Taransaud.
Tasting notes: Intense cherry red colour. Nose: red fruit and oak reminding us of ripe fruit and licorice with a touch of toasted oak thanks to the French barrel. Palate: nice.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 91 points(01/06/2011)
The entry-level 2009 Pruno is predominantly Tempranillo with dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak. Opaque purple in color, it offers up a brooding bouquet of earthy minerality, Asian spices, incense, and assorted black fruits. Velvety-textured, sweetly-fruited, layered, relatively forward, and lengthy, this seamless effort admirably reveals the strengths of the great 2009 vintage and is a superb value to boot. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
