The harvest was a fraction later than normal as it was a little cold but they ended up with wines with beautiful concentration, balanced acidity, and impressive ageing potential.   But that's a vintage view!  How is Trus itself? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's full bodied, with a big dark cherry colour. You'll get the expected red fruits on the nose with spicy nuances, it is full and fresh in the mouth, with smooth tannins despite their youth.\u003cbr\u003eAs Palacios say themselves it's 'a direct wine, with a brief ageing in oak that retains fresh fruit flavours and mild spices'.  But don't mind that oak reference - it does spend 3 months in oak (French \u0026amp; American) but none of it is new, so it's subtle not dominant.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis wine is also available in magnums (3 per case)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRUS is an acronym for Earth, Oak, Grape and Sun (in Spanish! - Tierra, Roble, Uva y Sol) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage has just been released and awaits Vintage scores.\u003cbr\u003eWe expect it to impress the critics as per previous vintages - 91 points is the normal!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlc.
