The Psi project has grown, with more farmers now involved, adding to a multi-layered complexity. The wine is made from 100% old Tinto del País vines planted across seven different villages. The wine is vinified in large concrete tanks, then matured for 18 months in a mix of second and third French oak barrels, large foudres and concrete vats. The 2012 is a deep plum-cherry, bright and lustrous. The nose presents very crisp, pure, crystalline, primary fruit, rose and violet notes, precise and focussed. The palate mirrors the aromatics offered on the nose: vibrant, perfumed and rich in red and black-berried fruit, supported by earthy, firm, well-integrated, ripe tannins - lovely balance, drive and length.
