500-liter ones) for some 30 months

Medium-bodied and never turning astringent it finishes long and floral

but then come waves of mace

this red is fresh

Remarkably good tannin structure for an entry-level wine

2021 | Villota Tinto | Rioja Slovenia 500-liter ones) for some 30The flagship of the estate, the 2021 Tinto is based on 85% Tempranillo, 13% Graciano, and 2% Garnacha. It has a gorgeous nose of cassis and darker berries interwoven with subtle spice, graphite, and leather. This carries to a medium to full bodied, round, concentrated wine with beautiful tannins, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and a great finish. I'd buy it. It should have two decades or more of overall longevity. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
