Hondonico-stedet ligger betydeligt højere end El Seque. Næsen viser mere kalksten og kølighed. Fine, søde røde kirsebær på elegante tanniner. Enormt saftigt og charmerende drikkeflow. Mourvedre i en Chateau de Beaucastel-stil, perfekt poleret med en salt, elegant finish. Imponerende harmonisk og ubesværet.

Den spektakulære årgang 2023 betragtes i Spanien som en milepæl inden for elegance. Vinen er betydeligt mere afbalanceret end 2022 og fremstår som en moden, ualmindelig harmonisk version af 2020. Den charmerer med en stenet reduktion, en betagende renhed og en præcis symmetri af absolut verdensklasse.

Parker om: El Seque El Hondonico

The lieu-dit, or paraje, red 2023 El Hondonico was produced with Monastrell from the 13 hectares of vines they have in the village of Abanilla on deep alluvial sand and limestone gravel soils. It fermented in open-top vats and matured in 500-liter barrels and a new 2,500-liter Austrian oak foudre for 12 months. The oak, being new in this first vintage, marked the wine, but time in bottle has done it good and there's more freshness and red berry fruit at the forefront. There are ripe aromas of berries, aromatic herbs and plenty of spice and a touch of smoke. It has some dusty tannins and is ripe without excess (14.5% alcohol is customary). It's powerful, with clout, and finishes with some earthy tones. The oak is better integrated now and should diminish in the coming years. 3,168 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025.

Suckling om: El Seque El Hondonico

This is perfumed, with aromas of red and blue fruit, underbrush, stems and fresh herbs. The palate is juicy and succulent, with focused tannins and precise, delineated fruit. From old head-pruned vines planted at 500 to 600 meters of altitude. Drink now.
