Description
Rich, dark, powerful fruit on the nose, deep berry fruits with hints of spicy oak, lifted and fine. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, masses of dark fruit, spicy oak, considerable acidity, and fine-grained tannins. It is a much bigger wine than many previous vintages and is clearly built for the long haul.
Chris Pollington, Senior Account Manager, Berry Bros. & Rudd
More power on display from the Viña de Amalio than with the Flor de Silos, but not at the expense of outstanding balance and elegance—vibrant black fruit supported by red cherry and delicate, pure acidity. From experience, this wine ages brilliantly. If you have already been collecting, the 2020 deserves a seat at the head of your vertical tasting table! This will grow to be one of the very best iterations of this terrific wine.
Charlie Leech, Buying Assistant, Berry Bros. & Rudd
Critics reviews
Named after Cillar de Silos' pater familias, La Viña de Amalio is made with grapes from the north-facing Carramonzón vineyard in Quintana del Pidio. Matured in 100% new French oak, it's a red that will appeal to Bordeaux lovers, with lots of coffee bean and cigar box on the nose, serious structure and density, good underlying focus and freshness and layers of sweet cassis and blackberry fruit.
