La Calera del Escaramujo 2022

The 2022 La Calera del Escaramujo is more expressive, aromatic and open, not showy or exuberant, with notes of blood oranges, violets and lavender, with some rugged tannins and a tasty, salty twist in the finish. It's beautifully textured, very chalky, with an ethereal part and very fine but present tannins. They tried to extend the élevage to 20 months in 2022, and in the future, they'd like to give the wines an even longer aging in foudre. It's super elegant and clean, with a very sapid finish. This is their greatest wine and the one that showcases what they want to achieve: elegance and power, complexity and depth from a diversity of soils—even within a single vineyard, where they have three soils. The wine doesn't lack power or ripeness. This is nothing short of phenomenal, a real triumph over the vintage. This is super elegant and harmonious. This vineyard is always harvested in October. There were two 600-liter barrels and a glass demijohn that filled 1,600 bottles.
