Real de Asua Rioja Carromaza 2019

One year on from my last tasting, and this is showing the benefits of the precise and deft extraction that was clear even before release. Fragrant and juicy in its fruit delivery, with savoury tomato leaf and freshly cut herbs, plenty of raspberry and red cherry fruits, along with tobacco, leather and cloves. 2.37ha plot of 30 year old Tempranillo vines sat at a windy 550m altitude in Villalba. 100% new oak. 3.65ph.
