The 2021 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra comes from the vines on the mid slope and has a very elegant, fragrant nose with notes of concentrated violet and a solid palate. The slate tannins give a talcum powder texture, and the wine opens up in the mid-palate, making it very expansive. In the long term, it seems like the slate gives a better palate and the granite is more nose. Given the longer cycle and slow ripeness of the grapes, the wine has contained ripeness and 14.5% alcohol and is more polished and with integrated acidity. This has the combination of the cooler year and the resilience of the slate soils, coming through as complex and elegant, powerful and concentrated but with an ethereal side to it too. Bravo! 5,815 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023 after it matured in 500- and 600-liter barrels for two winters. 97 points

Grown on slate soils at 950m-1,200m, this wine comes from three different parajes (equivalent to lieu-dit): Arrebatacapas, La Redonda and La Curva. Another wine from Telmo Rodríguez’s Cebreros project, this is old bush-trained Garnacha, hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. It spends between 24 and 30 months in 400-litre and 500-litre French oak. Another great example of the cooler 2021 vintage with the structure and acidity for successful ageing. Beth Willard: Jammy but fresh, this offers up bright raspberry and peach aromas and a very juicy, fleshy palate, but it has enough acidity to keep it lively and pretty. Valentin Radosav: Red cherry, cranberry and forest floor aromas. Vanilla, clove and green cardamom create a distinctive, uplifted spice feeling mid-palate. Round tannins and a very long finish. Diana Rollan: Elegant, complex, plenty of personality. Strawberry, dried rose petal and herbs. Vibrant and refreshing acidity invites you to keep drinking. Superb. 95 points
