Finally, varying with the vintage, the quixotic qualities that Eduardo allows his vineyards to express include alluring sous-bois and garrigue, aromas very familiar to noses trained in Burgundy, the Rhône, and Languedoc-Rousillon; saddle leather and tar similar to Barolo; and the copiously mineral, roasted-earth bass notes one sometimes finds in the finest wines of the Ribera, Toro, or Rioja. For me, Los Astrales bears Eduardo’s stamp as the winemaker’s most personal vision, the one closest to his heart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e"}
