"Terreus 2012 is a parcel selection of old Tempranillo vines in the village of Tudela de Duero. [...] The color is dark, ruby, brilliant (not black at all). The nose is very precise, with aromas of red berries, subtle and complex, with a lovely freshness. The palate is less spectacular than in previous vintages; tighter and more serious, with fine balance. It has everything it takes to age well in bottle. [...] With this new style, the wine can be enjoyed now, but will gain in complexity and depth if you have the patience to keep your bottles. It looks likethere will be no Terreus in 2013." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Terreus 2012 is a parcel selection of old Tempranillo vines in the village of Tudela de Duero. In 2012, they added grapes from younger vines planted on very chalky soils at higher altitudes, to produce a more elegant, fresh wine, as seen here. The color is dark, ruby, brilliant (not black at all). The nose is very precise, with aromas of red berries, subtle and complex with a lovely freshness. The palate is less spectacular than in previous vintages; tighter and more serious, with fine balance. It has everything it takes to age well in bottle. They still age the wine in new barrels, but through viticulture, with more acidity and less alcohol, the wood has a different impact on the wine. Here, wood even takes a back seat. With this new style, the wine can be enjoyed now, but will gain in complexity and depth if you have the patience to cellar your bottles. It looks like there will be no Terreus in 2013.
