Dominio del Águila Picaro Clarete Viñas Viejas Ribera del Duero 2023 ØKO

Guia Peñin

Vinous

The 2023 Clarete Pícaro del Águila blends 60% Tempranillo, 30% Albillo Mayor and other field-blend varieties. It is fermented in barrel. Pale salmon in color, the wine opens with cherry, peach and a seductive candy note. The palate is fresh and delicate, with lingering cherry on the finish. This is a clarete built to age. “It shows best in its sixth year,” says Jorge Monzón. Recently sulfited and bottled, it will grow with time.

Duftmæssigt kan fadlagringen omgående mærkes ... der er karamel, mælkechokolade, nougat, vanilje og en lækker hipsterbio frugt med jordbær, moreller, hyben, kandiserede kirsebær, rødbeder, blomster, røg og noget skocremet ... lækker, pågående og let anderledes, men det dufter vildt godt. Smagsmæssigt er der skrald på ... der er intens frugt som i duften, men samtidig en klingende syre. Der er hindbær, kirsebær, ribs, lidt lemon ... intens, fed, tæt og olieret med kaffelikør, candyfloss og en stor cremet lækkerhed. 93 point.

Jorge Monzón considers 2020 to be an almost prefect vintage—cool and fresh, reminiscent of the great 2016. The pink 2020 Pícaro del Águila Clarete was produced with 35% Tempranillo, 35% Albillo Mayor and the rest other local grape varieties (Garnacha, Bobal, Bruñal, Monastrell, Tempranillo Gris, other Albillos, Garnacha Blanca, Pirules, Jaén, Moscatel, Malvasías...) found in the old vineyards. This is very different from your average rosé, more like a serious light red or powerful white that slowly fermented during 11 months and matured in barrel for 18 months. The orange-ish/pink wine is still young and lively, with some notes of toasted sesame seeds and a faint flinty reduction a little à la Coche-Dury, reminiscent of some vintages of their superb white. This was bottled without being racked, and perhaps that's why it has this nice reduction and could be the finest vintage to date. It has a strong chalky aftertaste from the limestone-rich soils, which makes it a terroir white, but it's also very marked by the style (which they updated from the traditional wines in Aranda in the old times) of a unique wine. It's balanced and mellow but not a shy wine, with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.26. I've tasted 15+-year-old bottles of wines of this style, and they were still lively, so this one should not be shorter lived. Unique. Given my experience with past vintages, I'd wait a little before pulling the cork here. 8,358 bottles and 151 magnums produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

Mad og Monopolet

Rosé er ikke bare rosé, den kan være lige så raffineret som både hvidvin, rødvin og mousserende vin. Det understreger Dominio del Aguila Picaro Clarete med denne rosé på Albillo, Bobal, Grenache og Tempranillo. Næsen er fyldt med duft af jordbær, grape, ribs, tørrede blomster og et hint af salt. I munden er den læskende, elegant og har både mineralitet, syre og en utrolig delikat frugtsødme. Det hele spiller bare sammen! 1 stk 329,95 – v/ 6 fl. 239,95
