L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

Like the rest of the 2021s, I tasted the bottled 2021 La Baixada in early 2024, though I had previously tasted it as a barrel sample in early July 2022. The bottled wine is 94% Garnacha and 6% Cariñena with 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.45 after spending 12 months in oval French oak foudres. The 2021 summer was cool and the crop was large. The wine feels a little less concentrated with good ripeness. It has a bright nose with a predominance of red fruit. The wine is still powerful and has more tannins than the rest of the 2021s; it's more open within the elegant profile of the 2021s. It evolves with lots of elegance in the glass. This is a very strong showing for La Baixada. 3,300 bottles were produced. It was bottled in February 2023. (Luis Gutiérrez) 

James Suckling:

This rather recent addition to Alvaro Palacios’ “crus” is delivering greatness and consistency. More mineral with blue fruit here with a hint of white pepper funk that is spot-on to give it an additional layer. I love the chalkiness of the tannins on the palate, making you think of crumbled stones ground to a very fine, mealy powder. Almost fibrous tension with a long and exciting finish. Quite irresistible now, but should hold well. (Zekun Shuai)
