Spanjes “Best buy last 10 years” volgens R. Parker
Pruno 2022
Finca Villacreces is één van onze minder bekende wijndomeinen uit Ribera del Duero. Nochtans werken wij al meer dan 20 jaar samen met dit domein.
Hun basiswijn “Pruno” haalt jaar in jaar uit mooie scores bij Parker, en dat voor een wijn van amper 16,75 euro!
Hieronder een korte bloemlezing van Robert Parker:
2015: 90/100: As always represents a good value in Ribera del Duero.
2016: 91/100: Always a good value in Ribera and cropped from a fresher year, the 2016 Pruno has notes of licorice, dark berries and even some fresher red fruit. It has abundant, fine-grained tannins that require powerful food.
2018: 91+/100: The entry-level here is the 2018 Pruno, which follows the line of the 2016. It's mostly Tempranillo with 9% Cabernet Sauvignon fermented for three weeks and matured in French barrels for 11 months. It's clean and quite fruit-driven, approachable and juicy, with integrated oak. Very pleasant, with very good freshness.
2019: 92/100: The 2019 Pruno has some unusual aromas reminiscent of pine needles, balsamic and faintly herbal with moderate alcohol (they harvested early in this warm year) and with very good balance and harmony. The aromas and flavors are pure and defined, and it's tasty, easy to drink and has very fine tannins. Among the finest Pruno of recent times
De 2022 is nu gearriveerd!
De kwaliteit van de Pruno is niet toevallig: gedurende jaren werden de wijngaarden waar vandaag Pruno mee wordt gemaakt, gebruikt door Peter Sisseck om zijn Flor de Pingus mee te maken.
Bovendien heeft deze Pruno 2022 dan ook nog een zeer mooie score binnengehaald. Zeker in deze prijsklasse:
92/100
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, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot.
Ik was vorige lente nog op het domein en proefde alweer hoe goed het allemaal weer was!
Toppertje prijs/kwaliteit!
