Still tight

the layer of yeast/flor inside these butts (much weakened by the age and lack of nutrients of the wine) is significantly smaller and thinner and can be kept alive on the sole basis of scarce periodic refreshments—acting as barely sufficient barrier between the wine and the intensely oxidizing effect of air

and roasted dry fruit nuances due to the start of the process of amontillamiento

and minimal intervention to allow the Tinto del Pais (Tempranillo) purity of fruit take prominence

or age throughout the decade to bring out the darker fruits amongst the flavours
