R. Parker (94/100)
The village red 2023 Viñedos en San Vicente de la Sonsierra was produced with Tempranillo, Garnacha and Viura grapes from younger and older vines in the village with different altitudes and expositions. It fermented with 25% full clusters in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in 500-liter oak barrels and 40% in raw concrete vats for 11 months. It has a moderate 13.6% alcohol, reflecting a slightly less warm and ripe year with better freshness in the wines than 2022. They have included some more plots (some in La Canoca), and it has a little less Garnacha (because of hail). So, it's slightly different. It's more serious and a little more elegant. It's still very young and undeveloped, and the wine is easier to read on the palate, where the tannins are very fine and silky and make it a very serious wine.
