Pago de Valdoneje Viñas Viejas 2018

2017 > 89 puntos

The old-vine cuvée 2017 Pago de Valdoneje Viñas Viejas reflects its older age and the more challenging and warmer year, plus the winemaking from the time (they seem to be improving every year). It's riper, more advanced and more rustic than its siblings, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. 6,000 bottles were filled in January 2018. - End of January 2022, The Wine Advocate -

I again tasted the 2016 Pago de Valdoneje Viñas Viejas, a selection from old vines that was matured in oak. It has further integrated the effect of the élevage but has aged slowly and gracefully. The palate seems a little more polished, and in general, it's moving in the right direction as expected. It should continue its evolution in bottle for a while. 6,000 bottles were filled in December 2017. - Issue 249 End of June 2020, The Wine Advocate -
