2022 was not an easy year, a demanding vintage in terms of viticulture, and the 2022 Garmón was vinified with a softer extraction, given the natural concentration of the year. It's quite primary, with a purple color denoting youth, and it's elegant and juicy, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It has 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and achieved 14.5% alcohol. It was bottled after 22 months in French oak barrels. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024. Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2022 Garmón from the Burgos side of Ribera del Duero was aged 22 months in oak (50% new, 50% used). This is a serious, balanced vintage that delivers dark aromas of dried plum, black cherry, underbrush and lavender. The palate is defined by fine grip, chalky texture and freshness. Tasted six months after bottling, it shows promise with its tension, juicy core and expressive fruit finish. Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous
