Note di degustazione
The 2020 Garmón is a 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, aged for 20 months in primarily French oak barrels. Purple with a garnet sheen. The fruit-forward nose offers dried plum, blackcurrant and aniseed-like herbs intertwined with oak layers. Dry and plush from the oak, the wine's chalky texture grows more pronounced as it goes on, foregrounding a restrained but juicy, polished, lingering finish. The 2020 is a balanced, modern expression of Ribera del Duero.

Tasted along with the 2019, the 2020 Garmón is from a cooler year with more rain that resulted in fresher wines, a little lighter. This is still dominated by black ripe fruit, hints of licorice and earth and a creamy and smoky/spicy touch from the 20 months in 225-liter barriques. It's medium to full-bodied with abundant, slightly dusty tannins and more earthiness in the finish. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2022.
Mid crimson. Rich, rather walnutty nose. Lighter-bodied than some – or at least less concentrated. Marked acidity. Is this from especially high vineyards? Impressive persistence. Distinctively transparent, but arguably less characteristic of the region. (JR)
