Tasting notes
The first wine to be released from what is surely their finest vintage to date was the 2016 La Bruja de Rozas, a blend from different plots in the village of Las Rozas de Puerto Real in the province of Madrid. I first had it at a restaurant and was simply blown away and ran to buy a few cases for my cellar. This is ethereal, weightless but powerful, intense, transparent, with beautiful aromatics and a silky texture, with the grainy minerality of the granite soils. It's long, pure, available and affordable. It has to be one of the best value wines found in Spain today. Drinkable, in fact, gulpable today, but with the potential to develop in bottle. Bravo, bravo and bravo! There are 62,000 bottles and a bunch of magnums.

Slightly tarry and meaty edges here. Reductive and punchy blackberries and black cherries with crushed violets. Really impressive, fine but powerful tannins on the palate with peppery, blackberry flavors. Sexy juice. Drink or hold.
