Deep amber in colour, this is always such a unique wine. Hardly surprisingly given its oxidative ageing process, it has a significant hint of Jerez about it on the nose with notes of roasted almonds and a light hint of marmite, with a sweet suggestion of caramelised shallots behind, all of this topped off with a definite touch of strawberries and vanilla. The palate astonishes with its fine, elegant, almost searing freshness. Everything is in such wonderful balance – it is completely glorious. The texture is light yet with a slight oak tannin grip. Sweet strawberries lie in the background but that acidity has an almost tart tangerine quality to it, it is so refreshing. The wine has a beautiful finish of red apple and lemon pith mixing with the touch of almonds. This is a very fine, extremely fresh and absolutely incomparable ten-year-old rosé. Oh delicious. Drink 2021 to 2038.

Wine Advocate (95)Jorge Monzón considers 2020 to be an almost prefect vintage—cool and fresh, reminiscent of the great 2016. The pink 2020 Pícaro del Águila Clarete was produced with 35% Tempranillo, 35% Albillo Mayor and the rest other local grape varieties (Garnacha, Bobal, Bruñal, Monastrell, Tempranillo Gris, other Albillos, Garnacha Blanca, Pirules, Jaén, Moscatel, Malvasías...) found in the old vineyards. This is very different from your average rosé, more like a serious light red or powerful white that slowly fermented during 11 months and matured in barrel for 18 months. The orange-ish/pink wine is still young and lively, with some notes of toasted sesame seeds and a faint flinty reduction a little à la Coche-Dury, reminiscent of some vintages of their superb white. This was bottled without being racked, and perhaps that's why it has this nice reduction and could be the finest vintage to date. It has a strong chalky aftertaste from the limestone-rich soils, which makes it a terroir white, but it's also very marked by the style (which they updated from the traditional wines in Aranda in the old times) of a unique wine. It's balanced and mellow but not a shy wine, with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.26. I've tasted 15+-year-old bottles of wines of this style, and they were still lively, so this one should not be shorter lived. Unique. Given my experience with past vintages, I'd wait a little before pulling the cork here. 8,358 bottles and 151 magnums produced. It was bottled in February 2022. |
