Senderos de Ukan Tempranillo 2020

This is effectively the second wine from Koldo Eguren, made with Tempranillo from five different parcels in Elciego, Elvillar, Laguardia and Lapuebla. Using some concrete fermentation as well as 15% carbonic maceration, it has mint, wild herb and kitchen spice aromas, flavours of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate and a focused, refreshing finish. Drink date: 2026-2032. Score – 93. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2025)
