"Aromas of ripe, cocoa-dusted blue fruit, sweet spices and wet stones. Medium-to full- bodied, dense and structured with chewy tannins and a deep core of ripe dark fruit on the palate. Lingering, flavorful finish with hints of chocolate and crushed stones. Drink or hold."

"Cuesta de las Liebres is a single parcel wine that was first made back in 1999. Aged in new French oak for 24 months, with lots of dark chocolate and coffee bean aromas, it's a fleshy, dense, ripe Tinto Fino from a comparatively warm, south-facing site, with notes of ginger and cinnamon, textured tannins and fig and damson fruit. 2025-35"

"The single-vineyard 2018 Cuesta de Las Liebres comes from a plot that was planted in 1992 behind the winery at some 850 meters in altitude, where the soils have more limestone and the vines are head pruned. This has been made with 100% Tempranillo since 2014 (even though they have other varieties there), and they abandoned the 100% new oak regime for the élevage and now do 24 months in new barrels with lower toast, racked after 12 months. It has 15% alcohol and comes through as powerful and ripe. It's full-bodied and has fine tannins and less oaky notes than in the past, with balance and freshness combined with the power and concentration. This is a powerful and classical wine that is not produced every year and is designed for the long haul. 10,000 bottles produced. - Luis GUTIERREZ"

"Deep-ruby to the eye, this wine has aromas of brambly wild berries, dark chocolate and fennel. It offers a nice sense of spiciness, with flavors of raspberry, black cherry, clove, anise and orange zest. Durable tannins are kept in check by vibrant acidity. Drink through 2042. - Mike DESIMONEZ"
