Finca Villacreces 2017
Fiche technique
L'avis des experts
I also tasted the 2017 Finca Villacreces from a very challenging year that they consider very good for their vineyards despite the loss of 50% of the crop. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot that matured in French oak barrels (50% of them new) for 14 months. I was pleasantly surprised by this wine, given the extremely challenging conditions of the year; and it didn't only show well on its own, it showed better than the 2016 that I tasted next to it! It's perhaps a lighter year, but the fruit is in the foreground; it's clean and there is no excess ripeness, and the oak felt quite integrated. It's nicely textured and sapid, almost salty. 60,128 bottles and 502 magnums were filled in June 2019.
A red that offers a wealth of plum, chocolate and walnut character. Smoky with redwood undertones. Full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Needs time to soften. Try after 2022.
Finca Villacreces toma su nombre del fraile Pedro de Villacreces. Junto a él, varios clérigos se establecieron en la finca para dedicarse a la oración y al cultivo de la tierra.

Un gran ribera!!
Vinazo. El vino ha ido creciendo con la oxigenación. Maridaje de cine con merluza en salsa verde
Perfecto
El vino está bueno, pero no para el precio que tiene. Comparado con la añada del 2012, esto es agua con colorante
Excelente y más considerando su relación calidad/precio. Un valor seguro.
Buenisimo, un pero, algo caro
