Ijalba Santiago in 1998 created his own winery in the town of Gimileo, a few miles from Haro town is in which since 1964 had served his profession as makers of fine wines. Thus was born the project Viña Hermosa, a winery family vocation, in which the son of Santiago, Roberto Ijalba Perez, is willing to take generational change where necessary.
Of those wicker figure Ogga arises, a wine made with a certain aesthetic and I had the pleasure of tasting the holy Saturday. The 2004 vintage of this single varietal Tempranillo Reserve and twenty months of French oak without filtering, provided me with the following personal thoughts: Color
apicotado a certain intensity, nose, which recreates a basket of raspberries and cinnamon tone, going after certain points mashing liquor. Boca
resolved at the entrance, with a slight hint of sweetness, developing into a journey where the president shows sharp acidity. This wine is looming warmth, with the tannins apparent, although not very well established. Irregular route. Medium persistence. Aftertaste with unripe fruit, balsamic notes and a spicy final manifest intention.
I think that excess acidity, so others can be regarded as a wine suitable, if somewhat short yet despite being a reserve 2004. I do not think gets more time in bottle to soften at all those excesses. Among
disappointing and approved. I hope
new vintages.
