Dominio del Aguila Picaro Tinto 2022

The 2022 Picaro del Àguila Tinto has similar parameters to the 2021 but the sensation of higher ripeness. Surprisingly enough it has a lower pH than the 2021 I tasted next to it; they used more white to give it freshness and more of the other varieties. It has chalky, dry tannins, reflecting the terroir more, which is remarkable for such a warm and dry year. This is more serious and the 2021 more approachable. A triumph over the vintage.  94 points, Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate, July 2024.
