Heiner Lobenberg om:
Norte Tempranillo 2020

96–98+
/100

Denne vin kommer fra et unikt, 2,7 hektar stort område i næsten marginal højde, hvis naturlige orientering betyder, at den kølende nordenvind altid sikrer behagelige temperaturer, selv om sommeren. Kun 50 centimeter under overfladen findes en dyb, gold kalkstensjord, som er ideel til at lagre fugt. Den resulterende unikke vin er hvert år kendetegnet ved sin bemærkelsesværdige friskhed. Gæringen. Dyb, næsten uigennemsigtig rubinrød farve. Denne vin er kraftfuld og samtidig indbegrebet af elegance. Moden, blandet skovbærfrugt med vidunderligt afbalanceret krydderi fra træmodningen. Sort peber, kardemomme, vanilje og et strejf af brændte tændstikker. Gradvist tilføjes en salt, stenet mineralitet med rustent jern og tørmodnet oksekød. Den har et strålende terroirpræg! I munden har de mange ultrafine, polerede tanniner en næsten gitterlignende struktur - den kølige præcision fra højden sender sine hilsner! En spændende, moderne Rioja, som tydeligvis er lavet med ekspertisen til perfekt at indfange vinmarkens unikke karakter. Med denne friskhed og mineralske præcision har Norte helt sikkert det, der skal til for at blive glemt i kælderen i et par år, måske endda for at blive glemt, da den helt sikkert vil have brug for et par år på grund af sin mineralske og salte skarphed. En stor vin.

Parker om: Norte Tempranillo

The 2020 Norte is the top-of-the-range red from a north-facing plot in Laguardia at 720 meters in altitude on limestone soils with the mother rock 50 centimeters below the surface. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and matured in French oak barrels and concrete for 12 months. It has 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.48 with 6.15 grams of acidity. This keeps the powerful but fresh and balanced profile, ripe and concentrated. This is still young and needs some more time in bottle to polish the abundant chalky tannins, but there is more restraint and even a touch of austerity, showing a cooler vintage. 11,000 bottles produced.

Tim Atkin om: Norte Tempranillo

Norte is one of the highest vineyards in the Rioja Alavesa, located at a pretty extreme 720 metres on a gentle slope of clay and limestone soils. Floral and intense, it's like a cross between a Rioja and a Barolo in some ways, with savoury tannins and plenty of acidity, garrigue aromas, a crunchy, chalky palate and intense black cherry and fennel flavours.

Suckling om: Norte Tempranillo

Dusty dark spices with a hint of black olives to the dark cherries, ripe strawberries, cocoa powder and cedar. Very juicy, fresh and tight on the palate with firm, caressing tannins and a mouthwatering finish. Textured and long, full of succulent berries and a savory cocoa powder edge. Drinkable now, but much better in 2025.
