Ved smagningen i 2020 var der masser af frugt og glycerin, moden, dyb, fed og voluminøs, solbær, kirsebærsyltetøj og vanilje i næse og gane. Alligevel uendeligt fint struktureret, delikat, silkeagtig og elegant. Velintegreret træ. Nu smagt igen var træet perfekt integreret, mærkbart, men diskret i baggrunden. Frugtkernen er overraskende nok stadig ungdommelig, vinen er kun i begyndelsen af den perfekte drikkemodenhed, men kan stadig godt tage 15-20 år mere. Hvilken endeløs fornøjelse at drikke nu, det er sådan, jeg forestiller mig moderne Rioja i sin totale elegance og finesse. De sorte kirsebær er tætte, men langt fra marmeladeagtige, og de koncentrerede vilde hindbær understøtter dem perfekt. Så helt i top! 95/100

Tim Atkin om: San Vicente Tempranillo

One wine, one parcel, one grape variety: no one could accuse Señorío de San Vicente of lacking focus. Planted in 1985, this single-vineyard runs to 18.5 hectares, so there are decent volumes to go round. Lighter in style than some recent vintages because of the high yields in 2016, and all the better for it, this is still concentrated and very modern, with layered black fruit, sweet oak and supporting acidity.

Jeb Dunnuck om: San Vicente Tempranillo

The 2016 San Vicente checks in as 100% Tempranillo that was aged 20 months in 90% new French and 10% new American oak. Its deep purple color is followed by a beautiful perfume of blackberries, plums, lead pencil shavings, cedarwood, and crushed rocks. Elegant, full-bodied, with ripe, present tannins, and a great finish, it's another brilliant vintage for this wine. Give bottles 2-4 years and it will keep for 2-3 decades.

Galloni om: San Vicente Tempranillo

Opaque ruby. Expansive cherry, blackberry, potpourri, exotic spice, vanilla and cracked pepper qualities on the intensely perfumed nose. Deep, sweet and penetrating in the mouth, offering spice- and smoke-tinged red and dark berry compote, cherry-vanilla, violet pastille and cola flavors that become livelier with air. The floral quality carries emphatically through the strikingly long finish, which leaves smoke and mineral notes behind.
