Las Gravas 2018
Description
La parcelle Las Gravas est située sur les flancs de la montagne qui domine le domaine et on y cultive principalement le Mourvèdre et le Grenache. Il s’agit d’un vin au style très méditerranéen. De plus, c’est le vin le plus minéral de toutes les créations du domaine, et l’apport de Grenache lui octroie fraîcheur et fluidité, laissant la puissance et la concentration propre à la région au second plan pour une harmonie parfaite. The Wine Advocate l’a choisi parmi les trois meilleurs vins de cette appellation de Murcie.

L'avis des experts
The 2018 Las Gravas is a blend of 90% Monastrell from limestone gravel soils and 10% Garnacha also planted in the same gravel soils, but it's obviously much younger than the Monastrell. It fermented in underground pools with 25% to 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in 5,000-liter oak foudres and 500-liter oak barrels for 16 months. It's an incredibly elegant and delicate Las Gravas, nuanced and with a discrete profile, a little shy at first. The palate is also super elegant and balanced, with refined tannins, a velvety texture and very fine chalky minerality. The north-facing vineyard, the backbone of this wine in a challenging and cooler year, is now 40 years old and has vigor and balance, which has resulted in an incredible wine through a lot of work in the vineyard. This has to be the finest vintage to date, a real triumph over the adverse conditions of the year that transcends the quality of the vintage. They used a lower percentage of Garnacha to avoid too much florality in the blend, and the wine is more serious. It's less explosive than the 2017, but I'd say, more gravelly... Bravo! 34,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.- Luis Gutiérrez.

Primer clase
Creo que se ha sobrevalorado este vino. Ni potente. Ni tánico. Está bueno pero ¿98 Pa?. Algo no funciona en la factoría Parker, ¿o sí?.
Maravilloso, gran calidad para un precio mas que razonable
Elegancia, mediterraneidad, complejidad. Exquisito. Un verdadero placer.
No estuvo a la altura.
