Pegaso Granito 2022

The 2022 Pegaso Granito has a showy nose, with plenty of red raspberries, and it opens up even more in the glass. It has notes of ri pe red berry fruit, flowers and aromatic herbs. It’s juicy and velvety, with the frontal tannins from the granite soils. It shows the ripeness of the year with 15% alcohol but a lower pH and higher acidity (3.24 and 6.57, respectively) because of the blocking of the vines that didn’t have time to burn the acidity and the cycle was shorter. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins. It was bottled in June 2024. Drink date: 2025-2033. (Luis Gutiérrez,robertparker.com,Nov. 21, 2024)
