There is something minty and very balsamic in the 2013 Initio, and it feels closer to the Priorats from the 2000s than the majority of Garnachas from Gredos. It has a dark color and a brooding nose, with warm notes of soil and graphite. The palate is dominated by lots of tannins, providing an astringent finish. From a cold and rainy year, this has a moderate 15% alcohol and underwent a long aging in oak. For fans of the style. This is as far removed from the fragrant and floral Garnachas from Gredos as I can think of. 21,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2016.
