This is in way better shape than I expected it to be! A little mousey and a little tart, but still showing nice floral notes with strawberry and pomegranate. 12.5abv on the label — 10 years ago

Dark fruit, firm but gentle tannins and pronounced minerality of hard stone and alluvial silt. Very impressive, modern and clean winemaking.

Otazu is one of just fifteen estates in all of Spain to be granted Vino de Pago status, one of only three in Navarra and the only one in Valdizarbe. — 10 years ago

Tasting ridiculously youthful for being almost 11.5 years old! Crisp green apples and peaches, clean finish with just a touch of nuttiness. Amazing minerality — 11 years ago
