Villacreces Pruno 2022

As I’ve often heard and seen in this vintage, the result of the 2022 Pruno has been much better than expected after a torrid summer and an early harvest. The wine keeps its balance and poise, its fruit-driven personality and the approachability from previous years. It has contained ripeness, 14.05% alcohol, clean aromas and a juicy and velvety texture. Highly drinkable. It’s a blend of 94% Tinto Fino [Tempranillo], 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot. It was bottled in November 2023. Drink date: 2024-2028. Score – 92. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, June 13, 2024)
