Notas de The Wine Advocate sobre la añada 2018

The tight and sharp 2016 Venus la Universal is very representative of the vintage, with citrus freshness. I can see some similarities with 2013 here, an austere red blend that is going to have a long life in bottle. This is about 60% Cariñena and 40% Garnacha (which contributed to the blend in 2016 and 2017 but not in 2018), including some Garnacha from granite soils, when the grapes for this blend normally come from limestone. So, the granite might have contributed to the electric sensation on the palate. This fermented in large oak foudres (4,500 liters) and aged in slightly smaller ones (2,500 liters). They abandoned the barriques in 2008/2009, and the wine really changed. 15,000 bottles produced.
