Tasting notes
The 2015 Colección Privada is all Tempranillo that sees a touch of carbonic maceration and spent 16 months in 50% new French and 50% new American oak. It has a brilliant bouquet of crème de cassis, toasted spice, violets, lead pencils shavings, and chocolate. Beautifully polished, medium to full-bodied, elegant, and seamless, it has a plush, supple attack yet builds beautifully on the palate and finish. It's already hard to resist yet is going to evolve beautifully.

(fermented with both de-stemmed and whole cluster fruit; aged for 16 months in 50% French and 50% American oak barriques, all new) Lurid violet color. High-pitched red/blue fruit, floral pastille, spicecake, coconut and allspice aromas, along with a smoky mineral quality that emerges with aeration. Sweet, nervy and seamless in texture, offering juicy, spice-accented raspberry, blueberry and mocha flavors that deepen and fan out on the back half. Shows excellent clarity and repeating florality on a very long, spicy finish that's given shape by supple, even tannins.
Compared to the 2014 vintage, the 2015 Colección Privada is explosive, showy and hedonistic. It jumps out of the glass with a mix of flowers, wild berries and exotic spices, really showy. There is additional freshness here, and the wine seems to have taken the aging in oak (16 months in brand new barrels, 50% American and 50% French) much better than the 2014. This has to be one of the finest vintages of Colección Privada. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2017.
