Wine Advocate Review
Rated 93
I retasted the 2019 Finca Villacreces again next to the 2020, which gave me a good perspective of the evolution of the wine (slow) and the character of the vintage (warm, dry and powerful, with abundant tannins) and showed the different quality of tannins in the younger wine. It's a blend of 93% Tempranillo and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon - lower in Cabernet and without Merlot - and it matured for 12 months in 225- and 500-liter oak barrels, 50% of them new. 2019 was a riper year, and the wine shows it, even if the grapes were picked early. It's juicy and round, with a soft mouthfeel and glossy tannins. Drink 2023-2028.
Wine Tasting Notes
Inky purple, it has an expressive bouquet of mocha/expresso, pain grille, graphite, wild blueberrys, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a full-bodied, full-flavored, plush wine with layers of spicy black fruits, is perceived its varieties complexity. Balanced, long after taste with smoky hints.
