Tasting Notes |
"The 2014 La Locomotora Crianza is pure Tempranillo from Briones. After a six-day cold soak, uncrushed grapes fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel, followed by malolactic in stainless steel. The wine matured in French oak barrels, 10% new, for 12 months. I tasted from three bottles and they were all quite reductive, with strong animal aromas of wet fur, singed leather, cured meat, smoke and licorice. The palate is very polished, light to medium-bodied, easy and approachable. 29,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017.." |

Tasting Notes |
"The 2011 La Locomotora Reserva is pure Tempranillo from a dry and warm vintage, sourced from vineyards in Briones and fermented destemmed and uncrushed in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. It matured in Frenhc barriques, 30% of them new, for two years. 8,500 bottles produced. It's grapey and juicy, with high ripeness, notes of plums and raisins. Faintly spicy with fine-grained tannins and a dry finish. It was bottled in September 2016." |

Tasting Notes |
This magnificent Gran Reserva is the perfect example of the best Tempranillo from vineyards located in the prestigious village of Briones. On the nose it’s an infusion of spices balanced with a suggestive scent of forest floor and ripe fruit. It shows a good entry, silky mouth-feel, round tannins and fresh finish. |
