94 WA. "The 2014 Arbossar is old-vine CariƱena from a north-facing slope (coster), fermented with natural yeast and matured in an oak foudre from Stockinger until bottling in June 2016. This is always a lighter colored, perfumed CariƱena, with the freshness of a north exposure, which in the warmer 2014 feels a little riper and certainly with a lot more tannins than the 2013. The idea for this wine is to ferment it and age it in cement, and remove the oak totally . . . . There are 4,864 bottles produced." Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016 |
