Estévez Versos de Valtuille Mencia 2024

The really young red with bright fruit and plenty of aromatic herbs is the 2024 Versos de Valtuille. It’s juicy and tender, with very fine tannins and a clean and tasty finish. It has contained ripeness, 13.2% alcohol and the textbook profile of a young and fruit-driven wine with the advantage of seven months in very good oak foudres. This could be the benchmark “young” red from Valtuille. Drink date: 2025-2028. (Luis Gutiérrez,robertparker.com,July 10, 2025)
