Dark as a moonless night, the 2012 Tadeo is pure Petit Verdot from 15-year-old vines planted at 900 meters altitude on clay and chalk soils, which fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless-steel vats and went through malolactic fermentation and 15 months aging in new French oak barrels. The nose is quite muted, with shy aromas of graphite, peat, coffee and chocolate over a core of ripe black fruit. The medium to full-bodied palate is powerful, but without the aggressiveness often found in so many Petit Verdots from central Spain. It has moderate acidity and abundant, grainy tannins have no edges and end quite tasty with that chalky texture that sticks to your teeth. It could be drunk now with powerful food, but I'd opt for waiting a little to see if it develops more nuances, as right now it's a bit monolithic. 4,611 bottles produced.
