L'avis des experts

Tim Atkin:

This stunning red hails from 90-year-old parcels in Las Laderas and Calitrancos, two subareas in the village of Ollauri. Tempranillo dominated with 20% Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo and ageing in 50% new wood, it's fresh yet full bodied, with a glossy palate, notes of orange zest and blackberry and palate-cleansing acidity. World class. 2024-35

The Wine Advocate:

The 2019 Cerro Las Cuevas is their "Selección Terroir" produced with a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano and the rest Garnacha and Mazuelo, mostly from two ancient and beautiful vineyards in Ollauri. This reflects a warm and dry year with high ripeness and 15% alcohol and a round and lush palate with generous oak after maturing in oak for 12 months. It's still young and tannic and is going to require some more time in bottle and possibly powerful food. It has beautiful aromatics in the background, floral and with some orange peel notes that should emerge with time. 4,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021.
