Abadía Retuerta Pago Garduña 2012 Magnum con Estuche

"Produced exclusively with Syrah grapes, the 2012 Pago la Garduña is sourced from chalky soils sheltered by pine trees at some 810 meters altitude. The yields are always low, around 20 hectoliters per hectare, and there is good natural concentration. It has more of a roasted character, somehow intermixed with some herbal, raspberry leaf-like aromas, smoke, balsam and less varietal character than I've seen in previous vintages. There are more tannins here, which give a faint bitterness. There is good power, even if it could do with some more complexity. 4,500 bottles and some larger formats produced".
