"Comparatively firm and backward in style, certainly when you compare it with the stellar 2021, this has the tannic imprint that's a feature of some 2022 reds. Sourced from a vineyard of limestone and red clay that was planted in 1946, it's a serious cuvée of Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha with aromas of tar and dried blood, lots of grip and focus, some wild herbs and a core of plum, liquorice and black cherry. Needs time. 2026-36"
