The 2010 El Picón from Pago de los Capellanes is a testament to the exceptional vintage it comes from. Crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes, this wine has been aged in new French oak barrels, offering a harmonious blend of fruit, spice, and elegant oak nuances. It is a powerful yet refined expression of Ribera del Duero terroir.
This wine shows deep cherry color with violet edges. On the nose, it exhibits intense aromas of ripe black fruits, balanced with a complex layer of spices and a delicate toastiness from the oak. The palate is full-bodied with a velvety texture, showcasing blackberry, plum, and vanilla flavors, leading to a long, elegant finish.
