Tasting Notes

95% Tempranillo, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of different villages (Olivares de Duero, Valbuena, Moradillo, Baños de Valdearado, Tubilla del Lago and Anguix). Bush vines between 750 to 1,000 m above sea level on soils with clay and limestone. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless-steel vats. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels. Tasted blind. Inky and deep colour, with generous legs. Straightforward nose of black fruit, blackberry, plums and prunes, with an underlayer of toasty oak notes: smoke, toast and mocha. Intense and rich, fully loaded with chalky tannins, ready to develop further with time. I love the freshness given by its notes of liquorice, violets and mocha. A very good wine to keep in the cellar. (FC)

The 2021 Garmón is primarily Tempranillo with a 5% dash of Cabernet Sauvignon from Ribera del Duero, aged for 20 months in French oak barrels. A dark garnet-red in hue. The nose presents notes of cherry, plums and hints of violet, along with black tea and subtle ashy undertones. Dry and relatively rich, the juicy, chalky palate leads to a long-lasting, flavorful finish. This is a Ribera del Duero wine that drew inspiration from Bordeaux.

Eduardo García makes this outstanding assemblage of Tinto fino and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon with grapes sourced from Anguix, Baños de Valdearados, Moradillo and Tubilla del Lago. It is a wine that illustrates his skills as a blender showing a well-judged combination of structure and acidity. Clove spice, plum, orange zest and blueberry flavours are framed by scented, lightly toasted oak. One of the best Garmón releases yet.
