Note di degustazione
Wonderful aromas of peaches, blackberries, mulberries, lightly smoked meat, tobacco, and spices like nutmeg, as well as iodine and graphite. Medium to full body with very racy tannins that run the length of the wine and give it structure and length. Racy and structured with intention. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2027.

One year ago, I tasted this as a barrel sample when it was still young and undeveloped, juicy and with plenty of baby fat. And now tasted from bottle, the 2020 Viña El Pisón has turned into a serious wine despite 2020 being a more approachable vintage with more fruit, but still has a remarkable tannic structure. It's elegant, austere and subtle, with a very long aftertaste, and the strength here is the mouthfeel. It's both powerful and ethereal, with stunning balance. They finally bottled it after the normal élevage, and the idea is to perhaps bottle it before was abandoned, as they realized what seemed like a more fragile vintage at first also benefitted from the élevage. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2022.
