Suggestive nose with very fresh black fruit, penetrating spicy notes and an earthy background. Spirited and lively, it has length and tension. Compact and juicy tannins. The 2020 Garmón is a 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, aged for 20 months in primarily French oak barrels. Purple with a garnet sheen. The fruit-forward nose offers dried plum, blackcurrant and aniseed-like herbs intertwined with oak layers. Dry and plush from the oak, the wine's chalky texture grows more pronounced as it goes on, foregrounding a restrained but juicy, polished, lingering finish. The 2020 is a balanced, modern expression of Ribera del Duero. A graceful, deftly integrated red, this opens with a beautiful range of dried rose petal, black tea leaf, ground cardamom and fresh earth aromas - a fragrant skein that winds through dried raspberry and black plum reduction flavors. Fresh and focused on the palate, with fine-grained tannins creating a firm frame for the swath of generous flavors. Bright and well-spiced on the persistent finish. Drink now through 2034. Rich yet fresh blackberries with some graphite and dark spices on the nose. This is quite structured and vertical on the palate with juicy fruit and a medium-long finish. A tad chewy now, but should come around with some time. Try in 2024
