The 2015 Encruzado O Oenólogo was partly (25%) aged for six months in new French oak, the rest in cement vats. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. This is no more solid than the 2014, its predecessor in our mini-vertical (perhaps less so), but it has a brighter and livelier feel. By contrast, relatively speaking, the 2014 seems a little stolid, while this cheerfully dances across the palate. Elegant, fresh and tasty on the finish, this just seems to have somewhat better fruit than its predecessor. They are somewhat different in style, too, this being the sunnier one. I suspect this will age better also, and they will separate more as time goes on, leaving this as the clear winner of the mini-vertical.
