The more harmonious and drinkable of the reds I tasted is the 2019 El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto, the second estate vin in the Bordeaux sense. It has an attractive nose of wild berries, herbs and spices with integrated oak despite the palate showing more tannins that would welcome more time and/or powerful food. It's clean and modern, with 14.1% alcohol. It was produced with a blend of 92% Tempranillo, 9% Garnacha and 2% Graciano. 133,000 bottles and 8,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in January 2022.

The 2018 El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto has riper aromas than I expected, even though the palate shows more restraint. It's a blend of 88% Tempranillo, 9% Garnacha, 2% Graciano and 1% Maturana Tinta fermented in stainless steel and matured in American and French oak barrels for 12 months. The palate is medium to full-bodied with fine tannins and with ripe flavors in the finish. 161,000 bottles and 8,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2020.

There are two whites and two reds from the La Emperatriz estate, a first and second wine in the Bordeaux style. The second red is the 2017 El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto, and this name will also be used for the white. They lowered the yields and decided to assemble a number of varieties, so this is 90% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, 2% Graciano, 2% Viura and 1% Maturana Tinta. It's a serious and straight red fermented in stainless steel and matured in American and French oak barrels for 12 months. It has a clean, classical profile, with notes of ripe fruit and spicy oak and a medium-bodied palate with good entry and very fine tannins. 142,000 bottles and 8,000 magnums. It was bottled in March 2019.
