The Gabatxo was singing when I tasted it. Despite it being a more austere year, this was floral and elegant, insinuating and nuanced, very expressive. Alcohol is 13.5%, and there's very good freshness. It has fine tannins, and there's a very spicy side to it (black peppercorns from the Graciano?). It's nicely textured, long, precise, balanced and mineral. It's a serious wine that drinks well and has everything to develop nicely in bottle. Superb! 93 POINTS, VINOUS
