Tasting notes
The nose is very powerful and complex, highlighting the ripeness of the grape with fruity aromas (prune) and the toasted (roasted coffee, toffee) of the wood that embraces the wine, it has a mineral background (flint and slate) and spicy tones (cinnamon, pepper and some vanilla), menthol, woods and aromatic herbs (sandalwood and thyme).
In the mouth it is elegant, tasty, very fruity, well armed in body with noble tannins and with gentle power, consistent, very expressive with sensations of fresh and compote black fruit, cocoa, English chocolate, aromatic herbs, coffee beans, broad and very persistent, in short it is a great wine, a faithful exponent of our “terroir” to consume now and in many years.
Description
Pesus 2018 is the most exclusive wine from Bodegas Hermanos Sastre, in La Horra (Burgos), within the Ribera del Duero DO, and one of the great red wines of the appellation.
It is made mainly with Tempranillo from vineyards over 85 years old, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Its production is very limited and it is aged for a long time in French oak barrels.
It is a red wine of enormous concentration and depth, with ripe black fruit, spicy, toasted, and mineral notes, dense but polished tannins, and an endless finish. It has great aging potential.
Ideal with game, red meats, and great roasts.
