80 år gammel Grenache, single-varietal. Dyrket i 800 meters højde i nordøstlig eksponering på kalksten og hårdt ler, de bedste betingelser for høj mineralitet (kalksten), kraft (ler) og friskhed (højde og nordøst). Meget lavt udbytte, denne vin laves kun i absolutte topår. Håndplukket fra buskdruer, hvoraf 20 til 30 % gæres spontant som hele klaser uden opsamling. Modnet i stort, brugt træ. Lys farve, typisk Grenache. Geranium og appelsinskal, fin kalksten med et let chili-præg og salt i næsen. Ekstremt charmerende, men alligevel lidt pebret og krydret i munden. Garrigue-krydderi, underskov, der afspejler noget vildt fra Provence eller det sydlige Rhône, igen salt og appelsinskal, lidt passionsfrugt og let citruskrydderi. Tørrede blomster i smagen, lang, salt og krydret finish på vilde hindbær og jordbær, let kirsebær og kalkstenspulver. Meget spændende og samtidig animerende, gammel Bonneau-stil i Chateauneuf, man kommer også til at tænke på Tardieus Cuvee Speciale. 96-97/100

Suckling om: El Cismatico Garnacha

Attractive aromas of ripe cherries, wild raspberries, hints of licorice, dried flowers, blood orange and bitter chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity that adds a lot of freshness and tension with orange peel and spice undertones. Very pure and pristine. A little chewy at the end with peppery notes to it. Chalky, mineral sensation in the finish. 100% garnacha. 20% whole bunch. Plantings between 1937 and 1942. Drink or hold. 96/100

Parker om: El Cismatico Garnacha

The 2020 El Cismático comes from their two plots in Armantes in Cervera de la Cañada that were planted between 1937 and 1942, and the wine has more effect from the limestone and whiter soils. In search of a more age-worthy wine, it matured in used barrels, and it has less effect from the oak, with increased finesse and fruit. Tasting this next to the 2021 had a similar effect as in the other wines where I tasted the 2020 and 2021 together—the effect of the vintage is more noticeable and even increased as the wines sat in the glass, opened up and got a little warmer too. It has fine tannins and a nice grip. It improved with time in the glass, developing more nuance and finesse and also a good sign about its aging capacity. 3,733 bottles were filled in December 2022. 95/100

Decanter om: El Cismatico Garnacha

An intense and complex wine reflecting its old vine provenance from a single site above Cervera de la Cañada. Spending 13 months in old, 500-litre French oak then a further eight months in cement, the structure of this Garnacha is reminiscent of top Châteauneuf-du-Pape but with a distinctly Calatayud character. Fresh garrigue aromas and dark fruit; deep and concentrated with a peppery finish. Will develop further. 95/100

Tim Atkin om: El Cismatico Garnacha

El Cismático comes from Garnacha vines over 80 years old, planted in Armantes between 1937 and 1942. A fabulously complex wine that combines an earthy, beetroot yet fleshy palate born from marl and limestone soils, with perfumed floral and raspberry notes. Distinct garrigue and peppery notes lead to a saline finish. A vibrant and deep wine reflecting its high altitude (800m) and wild origins. 95/100
