The Wine Advocate – Luis Gutiérrez

I tasted 2018 and 2019 vintages. And they insisted on tasting the unbottled 2020s because they were ecstatic about that vintage; Sourdais said it was exactly what they wanted to achieve there, his dream vintage with alcohols between 12.85% and 13.30% and with perfect weather, which he says resulted in refined, slightly acidic and very perfumed wines. In 2020, they went for longer and softer macerations. 2018 is a cool vintage, 2019 is very powerful, and 2020 is from another planet. Maybe they need to go for higher yields to get more fluid wines in the future? But with old vines (and frost) in Soria, it is not always easy to get higher yields..
