Montecastro Reserva 2021

2021 / 94 puntos

The 2021 Reserva shows complexity, depth, aromatic and gustative nuance and the freshness from the year, when the grapes ripened thoroughly, developing more nuances. The wine has 15% alcohol but very good balance and the signature from the year. It has grip and power, and the Tempranillo here is complemented by 5% Cabernet Sauvignon (the Merlot is used for the other wine). The élevage was 18 months in barrel, with up to 40% of them new, but the oak is neatly integrated and does not mark the wine with aromas or flavors. It's a powerful year that, with time in bottle, starts revealing the finesse. 37,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.
