L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The first of two vineyard-designated reds, the 2013 Phinca Abejera was sourced from a 0.27-hectare plot planted in 1929 with a high percentage of Graciano on pure limestone soils. They used some 40% of stems for the fermentation in open 500-liter oak casks after being foot trodden. Fermentation is natural, and the élevage was extended to three years in 500-liter barriques. It has a sweet nose of beeswax and honey, sweet spices and aromatic herbs, quite aromatic and showy, with freshness and clean fruit and hints of tangerine peel. The palate revealed very tasty flavors with great freshness and very fine tannins. This is delicious. 1,470 bottles were filled in June 2017."
