Tasting notes
Peppery and dusty in character, the 2022 Impulsivo wafts up with a brooding mix of crushed black raspberry, dried roses and graphite. Deceptively approachable at first, it envelops the palate with depths of red and black fruit offset by hints of sour citrus as a collection of edgy tannins mounts toward the close. Its structure defines the finish, incredibly long and staining, with steely mineral tones and primary concentration that add chewy persistence.

From vines planted to 10 x 4 spacing in 2000, and biodynamically farmed, the 2022 Tempranillo Impulsivo makes one think of Ribera Del Duero in its intensity and richness of balsamic black berry and passionfruit. More new oak is applied (40% new French) for 18 months, which accentuates the inherent tension of the wine’s texture and length. The drinking window is long, now through 2042.
