L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The village red 2018 Las Jaras has much better integrated oak than the 2016 I tasted last time. It has a higher percentage of Prieto Picudo grapes, coming to a breakdown of 60% Mencía, 30% Prieto Picudo and 10% Alicante Bouschet or Garnacha Tintorera from old vines. It fermented in oak vats with 75% full clusters and indigenous yeasts. It's ripe and quite powerful but without excess and has a rustic touch and some dusty tannins, and it was bottled after nine months in oak vat and concrete, so lightly oaked. It needs powerful food and should benefit from some more time in bottle. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020. Volumes have grown, but so has quality; and 2018 delivered good freshness.
