You know that in my opinion there are zillons of wines made in the same style and only some individuals that really shine. Many things have changed in the last two decades. Methods, tastes and tasters and I dare that the first one head to the last to the kind of wine to drink. As of methods created a kind of wine drinkers embraced it as a new religion. It's not an attack to this kind of "new wines", but a fact when something new arrives. Many people were really tired of the kind of wine made in the rules of crianza-reserva-gran reserva or that old Rioja style...
Maybe the spanish palate, 20 years ago, was made for that kind of thin-crianza-reserva-gran-reserva-old-rioja-style... and I do really agree that nowadays we Spanish palate are really tolerant to oak, ripeness and (hyper)extraction...
