Vallegarcía Syrah 2023

2023 / 92? puntos

I found the 2023 Syrah a little too open and more oxidative than the rest of the reds in the tasting from the current portfolio. It has notes of toasted cereals with a lactic touch and a core of very ripe dark berry fruit with plenty of spice and some smoky notes coupled with a metallic touch. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.7 and 5.3 grams of acidity. It matured in new and second-use barriques for 12 months. The palate is juicy and tender, with integrated acidity and very round tannins, giving it a glossy mouthfeel. 3,396 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025.
