The 2023 Garnacha de Altura La Dula from Ribas de Tereso is open and expressive aromatically, combining rose, soft violet, potpourri and Mediterranean herbs. Juicy and agile on the palate, it is driven by lively acidity and a silky flow. Very fine tannins provide energy and subtle grip without disturbing the texture. A Garnacha of pedigree, it is poised between the ethereal and the powerful, yet above all precise. (93) JOAQUIN HIDALGOI, Vinous
Sandra Bravo’s 2023 Rioja Garnacha de Altura bottling is crafted entirely from garnacha vines that are more than eighty years-old. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in old foudres and aged entirely in clay amphorae prior to bottling. The 2023 version comes in at 13.5 percent octane and offers up a superb bouquet of red and black raspberries, a bit of fruitcake, a nice touch of meatiness, stony soil tones, a lovely array of Rioja spice tones and just a touch of amphora influence. On the palate the wine is deep, young and full-bodied, with a superb core of old vine fruit, fine soil inflection and grip, firm, chewy tannins and a long, complex and well balanced finish. This is still a very young wine and is going to need plenty of cellaring time to soften up, but it will be a very tasty bottle once it is ready to drink. 2035-2065+. JOHN GILMAN, View From The Cellar
