A classical red blend, the 2009 Negre Tradició is a generously oaked mixture of Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot from a warm and dry year that delivered a ripe wine. It matured in 225-liter French oak barrels for 14 months. What is quite amazing is that the wine is kept in bottle for seven years before it's sold. After all this time, the wine is still offered at a low price. The wine is still quite oaky, with a Bordeaux-like profile and classical aromas of herbs, berries and generous spices and smoke. It has a polished palate with resolved tannins and a clean, serious profile. It still feels quite young—it has freshness and is quite round. 52,981 bottles and 756 magnums produced.

Deep red. Smoke- and mineral-accented aromas of dried cherry, pipe tobacco, succulent herbs and cracked pepper on the pungent nose. Lithe and seamless in texture, offering gently sweet red fruit and spicecake flavors that slowly turn spicier on the back half. A sexy floral note appears on the persistent, focused finish, which is given shape by smooth, barely perceptible tannins. There's something distinctly Bordeaux-like happening here and the wine is ready to drink.
