Baboso Negro, Ignios Origenes, 2017

As with the rest of the wines, I tasted two vintages of this red, so I also sampled the 2017 Ignios Origenes Baboso Negro, which matured in a 1,500-liter oak foudre (and one barrique), so the rate at which the wine takes oxygen during the elevage was very different from the 2016. This felt much younger, and it had a creamy twist that was probably added by the new oak in which it was aged. It has plenty of fine-grained tannins that might require a little more time in bottle. 2,000 bottles.
