Critics reviews
1,729 bottles and 42 magnums were produced. It was bottled in March 2023.
They didn't produce the 2017 vintage of the single-vineyard wine from some of their oldest vines, so after the 2016, they jumped to the 2018 Peñas Aladas Gran Reserva. It has a very intense nose of liquorice, flowers decayed violets), wet chalk, spices nutmeg), some nuts pecan) and a volatile twist with great freshness. It matured in French oak barrels for 53 months. It has a fine thread, a chalky and dry feeling, fine tannins and a dry and very tasty finish that's almost salty. It has all the components and the balance to develop nicely in bottle. It should age effortlessly for 30 years. It's very impressive but doesn't reach the elegance of 2016.
