TASTING NOTE: The Orellana bottling comes from a sandy site planted in La Consulta in the 1940s, but there's nothing light or ephemeral about it. Sappy, dense and effortlessly concentrated, with top notes of Asian spices, it has absorbed its 100% new oak with ease. Well worth cellaring. Drink Date: 2018-26.
