PerSe: Iubileus Gualtallary 2023

Parker über: Iubileus Gualtallary

From the estate's north-facing, échalas-trained vines comes the 2023 Iubileus, which presents a relatively sun-kissed and rich expression of the property, though in the context of a profile defined by mineral tension and drive above all else. It delivers the most lush bouquet of the lineup, opening with ripe red fruits and chalky top notes neatly threaded with sweet undertones of anise and black licorice, all rendered with a quietly confident, alluring quality. The palate perfectly marries enveloping, mouth-filling richness with a tense, linear focus, culminating in an explosive finish that retains a sense of control as it lingers with vivid mineral undertones and overall weightlessness. The finesse from front to back here is especially impressive within the context of the 2023 vintage, which can easily veer into shrill or grainy territory.
