L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The harmonious 2019 El Valao comes from an ancient plot and fermented in stainless steel and matured in 225-liter oak barrels for six to seven months. The wine is harmonious and combines the house style of ripe and juicy wines (this one is 14.2% alcohol) with very good freshness and balance, coming through as medium-bodied and quite elegant. It's serious and austere, with all that it takes to have a nice development in bottle. And with good freshness and the 2019 tannins, it should be able to stand up to powerful foods. 4,500 bottles produced.

James Suckling:

Very attractive berry and cherry character with some clove and slate undertones. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a flavorful finish. Subtle minerality to this. Drink now.
