Note di degustazione
Opaque ruby. Mineral- and spice-accented aromas of ripe red and dark berries, lavender and exotic spices on the deeply perfumed nose. Weighty and broad on the palate, offering juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that show fine clarity and building sweetness. Turns spicier on the persistent finish, which features slowly mounting tannins and lingering mineral and floral notes.

All Tempranillo, the 2017 Garmon comes from vines ranging from 30 to 100 years of age and spent 18 months in French oak. It's another ripe, sexy, yet beautifully balanced wine from this estate that has classic Tempranillo dark berry fruits, graphite, spice box, violet, and dried herb-like aromas and flavors. With medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, expansive texture, and silky tannins, drink this beautifully polished, elegant Ribera over the coming decade or so.
The 2017 Garmón was the first vintage fermented in their own winery, and the wine went through malolactic and an élevage of 18 months in barrique, but they increased the percentage of used barrels. The fruit is very clean and a mixture of red and black, and the tannins are soft, a bit grainy, with integrated oak. Like many of the 2017s from the family, the wine shows really well; they did a good job in a very challenging year. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2019.
