Note di degustazione
95% Tempranillo, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of different villages (Olivares de Duero, Valbuena, Moradillo, Baños de Valdearado, Tubilla del Lago and Anguix). Bush vines between 750 to 1,000 m above sea level on soils with clay and limestone. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless-steel vats. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels. 50,410 bottles, plus 1,129 magnums. Tasted blind. Inky and deep colour, with generous legs. Straightforward nose of black fruit, blackberry, plums and prunes, with an underlayer of toasty oak notes: smoke, toast and mocha. Intense and rich, fully loaded with chalky tannins, ready to develop further with time. I love the freshness given by its notes of liquorice, violets and mocha. A very good wine to keep in the cellar. (FC)

For the first time, the 2021 Garmón contains 5% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend with Tempranillo from different villages and zones within Ribera del Duero. They work small plots of old vines and old clones that have a longer cycle. The grapes ferment from 12 to 16 days with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for 22 months. Despite the high altitude of the majority of vineyards here, the wine feels riper than the 2021s from Mauro, and the oak is more evident tin the nose. It's spicy, toasty and smoky, with a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. Wait a bit to pull the cork, and enjoy with heathy, powerful food. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.
The 2021 Garmón is primarily Tempranillo with a 5% dash of Cabernet Sauvignon from Ribera del Duero, aged for 20 months in French oak barrels. A dark garnet-red in hue. The nose presents notes of cherry, plum and hints of violet, along with black tea and subtle ashy undertones. Dry and relatively rich, the juicy, chalky palate leads to a long-lasting, flavorful finish. This is a Ribera del Duero wine that drew inspiration from Bordeaux.
The 2021 Garmón Gran Reserva is made from century-old vines in Baños de Valdearados. It was aged three years in barrel and two in bottle. Pronounced aging notes of field herbs and ripe plum appear first, layered with menthol and pepper. The fruit emerges later. Concentrated and structured, this wine will gain balance and complexity over three more years in bottle. Potent yet nuanced.
