The 2012 La Poza de Ballesteros comes from a plot opposite Valdeginés where the soils are a little deeper and are quite similar to Valdeginés. However, the wines are very different, and the main difference here is the exposition. This wine has a different style of maturity, more Mediterranean, mixing aromas of plums and aromatic herbs and a voluptuous palate. It is a ripe and showy wine with good complexity and depth, notes of black tea, tobacco, balsamic, and all of it well married with those ripe plums. Within its ripeness and forward character it remains quite balanced; you won't find any excess in the bottle. Again it shows the harmony I see in all the 2012s. Again, this is approachable from now, juicy, ripe and hedonistic. 6,000 bottles produced.

Floral and mineral notes frame ripe blackberry and currant flavors in this bold, modern red. Firm tannins give this backbone, balancing the racy edge of acidity, which yields to a spicy, mineral-tinged finish. Not quite harmonious now, but expressive and complex. Best from 2016 through 2024. 34 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
