Pago La Jara 2014

Lobenberg: Fast schwarze Farbe. Tiefe Aromen von schwarzen Beeren, Zedernholz, Tabak, Erde und etwas Teer steigen auf. Im Mund fast übervoll, ganz dicht, alles auskleidend, konzentrierter, langer Abgang. Typ finessereicher und feiner Blockbuster. Klingt widersprüchlich, aber man muss es probiert haben. Ein grandioser Wein aus Toro. Trinktemperatur ca. 16-17 Grad C. Hervorragend zur Lammkeule mit Tomaten. 96-98/100

-- Suckling: --Suckling: Very dense and juicy with a ripe black-cherry heart. Assertive, this has some coal smoke and a fresh, violet-like floral edge, too. There’s a powerful, brash and youthful edge. Structured and concentrated. Deep and juicy. Drink or hold. 95/100

-- Parker: 2014 was a homogeneous and reliable year in Toro, and the 2014 Pago La Jara reflected it. The wine was a little reticent and closed at first and took some time to open up. The palate was very elegant; in a way, it reminded me of the 2016 Gago I tasted next to it, balanced and with fine-grained tannins, supple and tasty. A wine that changed in the year 2012 toward a lot more freshness and a lot less oak, it seems to fly under the radar, but it's very much worth it. 3,033 bottles produced. 95/100
