Tasting notes
The 2015 Las Umbrías suffered in comparison with the 2016, as it's possibly the most ethereal of their parcels and shows the effect of a warm vintage in a stronger way and usually takes time to overcome it. This feels a little awkward at the moment, a little closed, even with a touch of volatility but should come around with a few years in bottle. It slowly reveals the notes of decayed roses that showcase the finesse of this extremely elegant terroir. I'm confident it will show better (hence the + in my score), but I should revisit this in a couple of years. 1,957 bottles were filled in March 2017.

Made from 100% Garnacha, the 2015 Commando G sports a light ruby color as well as a Burgundian style in its light mulberry fruits, menthol, stemmy herbs, soap, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. With medium to full body and plenty of structure, it's lightly colored yet not light on intensity. Drink it any time over the coming decade.
