El Tamboril Tinto Garnacha 2020

Parker über: El Tamboril Tinto Garnacha

-- Parker: Parker zu 2019: The 2019 El Tamboril Tinto was halfway through its élevage in oak when I tasted it together with the bottled 2018 in November 2020. 2019 was a warmer year than 2018, and the grapes ripened fully to close to 15% alcohol but also keeping higher levels of acidity and freshness. It's a more Mediterranean vintage. The vineyard has improved a lot since they took over the farming, and they now have 0.5 hectares that delivered enough wine to fill a 1,000-liter oak foudre. The nose shows some of the ripeness of the year, but the texture goes back to the austerity and the liquid granite sensation of the 2016 that I liked so much. They expect to fill some 1,200 bottles in June 2021. 96-97/100
