Product description

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate    The only wine they produce here, the 2018 Garmón is pure Tempranillo from different villages with a continental climate, old organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards that are not certified. It fermented by village with indigenous yeasts and matured in 225-liter French oak barrels for 20 months. This reflects the cooler character of the year, and they maybe used a little more used oak (50/50). The wine is fresher, has a lot more acidity and is aromatic and open, with a better balance without losing structure. This is the finest wine they have produced so far, and they told me this is the kind of wine they wanted to make in Ribera del Duero, the Mauro style with finesse and elegance. It brought me to the character of the wines from yesteryear, rustic but with elegance, full of character, energy and aging potential. 50,120 bottles produced.

94 Points - Vinous    Deep brilliant violet.  Expansive cherry. blueberry, potpourri and exotic spice qualities on the intensely perfumed nose; vanilla and woodsmoke nuances add complexity.  Deep, sweet, and focused on the palate offering powerful red and dark berry compote, lavender pastille and licorice flavours and a suave floral undertone. A spicy nuance gains strength on the long, energetic, and youthfully tannic finish which leaves smoke and mineral notes behind.
