La Celestina Vendimia Seleccionada 2019
Descripción
Este tempranillo de viñedos burgaleses y sorianos es una buena muestra a la parte más oriental (y menos conocida) de la Ribera del Duero, marcada por una altitud que roza los 1.000 metros. Con una crianza de 18 meses en roble francés y una guarda en botella de otros 18 meses se presenta austero tras descorchar, pero tras un momento comienza a desvelar su potencial aromático y su seriedad en boca.

Opinión de los críticos
Dark and brambly aromas with hints of violet leaf, blackberry, clove and basalt. The youthful palate is taut with powerful, ripe tannins. An excellent release.
I think the Vendimia Seleccionada reference on the label is still unclear for consumers, as in some places it represents the entry-level and in others, like in the 2019 La Celestina Vendimia Seleccionada, it's a range above the Crianza. This has a little more toast and smoke compared with the Crianza but with a similar profile and parameters—good ripeness and generous oak in a commercial and balanced way. It feels a little more tannic and backward and is slightly riper at 15% alcohol and has more volume. It spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% of them new. 39,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022.
A fresh nose with dark and blue fruit, blue flowers, chocolate, licorice and wet stones. Full and rich but polished and fluid with chalky tannins and a sleek, fruity finish. Drink or hold.
