Comando G 'La Bruja' Garnacha 2023
This is certainly the best release of this wine in a number of years. It makes sense too: the Comando guys are looking to make this wine a touch more serious, and have been a bit more selective with their fruit sources. They're also making much less of it going forward. Here you can expect an array of flavours from Aperol and Campari, dried orange peel, cranberry and dried red petal. It's very light in colour, but not short on flavour. A beautiful wine. - Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.
The regional red 2023 La Bruja is now 100% from Cebreros, no more from Madrid; so, they produced fewer bottles, and there will be even less in 2024 (20,000 bottles). It's like a meatier, juicier version of the 2021 and is less reductive but still stony and fine-boned. It has good ripeness and development of aromas and flavors and is floral, clean, red fruited and herbal, with 14% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity, coming through as balanced and elegant. 40,943 bottles and 500 magnums produced. It was bottled in August 2024. 95 points, drink 2024-2032, Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate.
