This is always the ripest of the wines, and 2020 is no exception: the Las Lamas 2020 has 14.5% alcohol. But what matters is that it doesn't show; it doesn't feel ripe or hot. In fact, this comes across as fresher, more harmonious and livelier than the Moncerbal; it needs ripeness. It's very expressive and very “Lamas”, more Mediterranean and truly what it is. It's juicy, with notes of peach, very velvety, with round, bright tannins, but without being heavy. It's very balanced and shows a certain freshness, even though it's a rich wine. It's now certified organic. 6,400 bottles were produced. It was bottled in October 2021, during a break in the long 2021 harvest.
