For the first time, the 2021 Garmón contains 5% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend with Tempranillo from different villages and zones within Ribera del Duero. They work small plots of old vines and old clones that have a longer cycle. The grapes ferment from 12 to 16 days with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for 22 months. Despite the high altitude of the majority of vineyards here, the wine feels riper than the 2021s from Mauro, and the oak is more evident tin the nose. It's spicy, toasty and smoky, with a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. Wait a bit to pull the cork, and enjoy with heathy, powerful food. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023. Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
