Tierra Antigua Ethos 2005

The 2005 Ethos is sourced from a single-hectare plot that is fermented in a single open barrel. It has a gorgeous bouquet that blossoms from the glass upon pouring: creme de cassis, blueberry pie, vanilla and a touch of orange sorbet. The palate is medium-bodied with bold, powerful ripe tannins. It has firm grip, grainy texture and fine minerality, the finish pulling everything back into a tightly coiled ball of broody black fruit. Therefore it would be advisable to give this serious decanting. Excellent. Drink 2013-2020. Score - 94. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2012)
