Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,300 g. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano fermented in 12,000-litre stainless-steel tanks. Aged for 24 months in 225-litre barriques before 12 months in bottle. Winemaker Jorge Navascués. Vegan. RS 1.8 g/l. Available in 109 stores. Interesting variation in price compared with the Marqués de Riscal … though admittedly this is single-estate wine. Very rich and rewarding on the nose, even if much less like classic Rioja than the Riscal. Fine wine with real freshness, drive and character. Sour plums. (JR)

After 16 months in barrel, the 2020 Reserva is effusive in fresh red fruit and rounded tannins. It has small amounts of Mazuelo, Graciano, and Garnacha, which add complexity and freshness. Medium-bodied, it offers impressive balance for a wine that’s seen so much oak, retaining a lasting freshness on the finish. Enjoy through 2032.
Such a delicate, nuanced Rioja that\'s full of red berries, blueberries, grilled pepper, spices and minerals. So transparent and ethereal, with lots of finesse and delicacy. The tannins are fine, with a very silky, elegant center palate. Seamless and long. Drink from 2025.
The 2020 Reserva was produced with grapes from different plots on the property that were picked early and, between that and the higher yields of the year, resulted in a wine with 13.77% alcohol, quite low for a very warm year. It is composed of 86% Tempranillo, 6% each Mazuelo and Graciano and 2% Garnacha. It fermented by plot in stainless steel and concrete vats and matured for 18 months in oak barrels, mostly French but with 5% of them American. It feels fresh and harmonious, with some developed aromas, a minty touch of freshness and a medium to full-bodied palate that calls for food. It has depth and precision and is hedonistic, a notch above the 2019 despite the challenges of the year. A triumph over the vintage. 298,648 bottles and 5,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2023.
