Notas de "The Wine Advocate"

The dark and concentrated 2023 Alaya Tierra was produced with Garnacha Tintorera grapes from 50+-year-old vines at 1,000 meters above sea level. It fermented in open-top 5,000-liter stainless steel vats and matured in brand-new French barriques for 15 months. This is heady and ripe, with notes of dark fruit and an iron twist, surprisingly not too oaky. It's powerful at 15% alcohol and has a pH of 3.84 and 6.1 grams of acidity. It's juicy and chewy, with a dry finish and abundant but fine tannins and is XXL but in balance. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2025.

Notas de James Suckling sobre la añada 2022

Intense, perfumed nose of ripe blueberries, stewed plums, cooked lemons and coriander. It’s full-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins. Flavorful and plush with a rich, sticky texture. Big wine, but just about balanced. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Notas de IWC - Stephen Tanzer sobre la añada 2011: "100% garnacha tintorera; malo in new French and American oak, followed by 15 months of aging in the same barrels): Glass-staining purple. Potent cassis, bitter chocolate and licorice aromas are complicated by notes of black pepper and floral oils. Weighty, palate-coating black and blue fruit flavors of noteworthy clarity and lifted by juicy acidity. Closes sweet and long, with resonating spiciness and suave, harmonious tannins."

Otras puntuaciones: 15 / 20 MV sobre la añada 2012

"Tremendo, Nuevo Mundo, con una nariz balsámica y una densidad extrema, como un oporto seco. Enorme madurez, avasallador en boca. Un concepto diferente."
