Tasting notes
The 2011 Las Umbrías is a little earthier, especially when tasted side by side with the 2012, which is especially light. Here you find a more leesy character and a little fuller mouthfeel. However, the palate shows the austerity of the vintage in the relatively high acidity; it feels sharp and perhaps not as balanced as the 2012. With a little bit of patience it develops attractive aromas and flavors of malt and blood oranges, which makes you want to put your nose in the glass over and over again. The only problem here is the temptation to compare it with the 2012.
