La Mala 2016 con estuche de madera

As the 2015 was not produced, I tasted the 2016 La Mala, the following vintage after the 2014. They vinify three different wines and then blend them. The vines have a lot of vigor but deliver small and loose bunches. 2016 has lots of finesse with good ripeness and fine tannins. It aged exclusively in used oak, a change form the past, and the oak feels very integrated. This is a wine with lots of personality, combining power and elegance. 876 numbered bottles were filled in September 2019.
