Description

James Suckling: Fresh blackberries, strawberries, blueberries and black pepper with cocoa powder and fine spices. Perfumed and fruit-expressive, but deep. The oak here is very subtle. Really juicy and precise on the palate, with fine, chalky tannins. Tension and length. Drink now or hold. (Zekun Shuai)

Tim Atkin: This is the second vintage of Áster's entry-level red, made with components from the El Espino, El Picón and Fuentecojo plots in Anguix. Elegance is the goal here, according to Julio Sáenz. The oak has integrated into the wine with an extra year in bottle. Fresh and chalky, with good structure and support, red fruit and plums, plus good ageing potential. 2024-2029.
