Notas en "The Wine Advocate"

The 2022 Valtuille Cepas Centenarias shows some more rusticity and is a little earthier and a bit leesy, with notes of cedar wood, pencil lead, licorice and a hint of leather. It has 13.36% alcohol with a pH of 3.66 and 4.48 grams of sugar. It has abundant, slightly dusty tannins and a chalky, earthy finish. 4,300 bottles and 36 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2024 after one year in 225- and 500-liter barrels.

Notas de James Suckling sobre la añada 2021

This is earthy with notes of violets and roses and hints of dark cherries. Medium-bodied and super elegant, with silky, delicate tannins and an ethereal finish. This is made from the Matalospardos parcel. A blend of mostly mencia with about 5% bastardo and 12% white varieties like palomino, treixadura and dona branca. This is fermented with 30% full clusters in 5,000-liter oak vat, then aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels. Drink now or hold.
