The dark and serious 2023 Pies Negros is a village red from Ábalos produced with Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, which seems to have given it a serious twist with deep dark fruit aromas and very good freshness. The destemmed but uncrushed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in 500-liter barrels for one year, save for 10% of the volume that was kept in concrete. It has contained ripeness and good freshness and balance, and it's juicy and tasty, with fine tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Serious is the word. 65,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2024. LUIS GUTIERREZ, The Wine Advocate
Showing plenty of cherries and plums, this is solid and crunchy with a touch of white pepper and potpourri. Fine tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Juicy, pristine and pure with a medium-long finish full of fruit. A blend of tempranillo and graciano. Drink from 2026. ZEKUN SHUAI, JamesSuckling.com
The 2023 Pies Negros is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano from Ábalos, Rioja. Deep purple in hue, it offers aromas of blackberry, sour cherry, forest floor and a touch of pomegranate. Juicy and plush, with reactive tannins and a lingering red fruit-tinged finish, this is a flavorful, energetic red. JOAQUIN HIDALGOI, Vinous
