Bordeaux fik utroligt meget regn i foråret 2020. Under den tidlige, men perfekte blomstringsperiode var det tørt i fjorten dage, hvorefter det straks begyndte at regne. Fra midten af juni til midten af august faldt der imidlertid ikke en eneste dråbe regn. Det var en katastrofe for sandjord - vinstokkene led af tørkestress. Med lerjord, som vi har på de bedste steder i Médoc og Pomerol, eller på ren kalksten, som det ofte er tilfældet i Saint-Émilion, var det slet ikke noget problem. Der faldt omkring 80 millimeter regn på den venstre bred i midten af august. Yderligere 15 millimeter i slutningen af august. Derefter var det tørt i hele september. Så stort set perfekte betingelser for fremragende terroir, perfekte betingelser for høj modenhed og rige tanninniveauer med forholdsvis moderat syre.

Suckling über: Las Iruelas Garnacha

-- Suckling: Intense and super-focused nose with reductive white sesame notes with dark minerals, iron, pine cones, bitter grapefruit and blood oranges. So intense yet weightless. The tannins are very firm and assertive, with a long, long finish. Drink or hold. 98/100

Parker über: Las Iruelas Garnacha

-- Parker: I have never seen an herbal and peppery nose in a wine from Las Iruelas like the 2021 Las Iruelas; more specifically, it has a pungent note redolent of the Basque chili pepper 'piparra,' with wild strawberries, white peppercorns and capers, reflecting a very cold year. It's the expression of the slatish soils in a cold Mediterranean environment in a cold year. It has a pale and more developed color, it's narrow, it makes you salivate and it's super aromatic and expressive, floral, delicate and ultra mineral; it smells like crushed stones. This is the only wine from the village of El Tiemblo, one of two on slate soils in 2021 and the only one on slate from 2022, as 2022 was the last vintage of El Reventón, the other wine from slate. This was bottled later; they kept it in concrete for four or five extra months because the wine was a little reduced. It should be very long lived. 2,657 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023. 98/100

Tim Atkin über: Las Iruelas Garnacha

-- Tim Atkin: From an east facing slope at 1,000m in El Tiemblo, where soils are slate with a lot of ironcontent, this wine is profound with fabulous stoniness, a steely core and flinty finish. Struck match reduction gives way to delicate red berry fruit, a touch of chocolate and very well integrated oak. It is beautifully balanced and poised, finishing with a savoury, green olive note. Perfectly reflecting its terroir, the wine is supported by impressive winemaking that will allow it to unfold gracefully over the years to come. 2024 - 2035
