They kept the 2010 single vineyards and they are sold after the 2011, which was released last year. The 2010 La Mala showed great balance, elegance and inherent complexity. It's very fresh, austere and mineral, from one superb vineyard very rich in limestone under a 0.7-meter layer of sand. It is an 0.8-hectare plot planted with ancient vines at 960 meters altitude that yielded 0.7 kilos of grapes per plant. The tannins are super-fine, slightly chalky, and the wine has great acidity and balance. This is one of the best La Malas ever bottled. With a little less oak this could have been so much better. 1,121 bottles were filled in March 2012. Time has polished it, but it has a long life ahead of it.

Cherry, berry, vanilla and spice flavors mingle in this light, firm red. The acidity is bright and lively, and there's enough tannins for grip. Modest in character, but balanced, focused and fresh. Drink now through 2020. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 50 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
