2022 | Bodegas Breca El Nacido | Calatayud Hogue Cellars in which case

in which case

A bit of dark chocolate can also be seen

With a delightfully cleansing acidity

pressed iris commingling with autumn leaves matched with blueberry and strawberry fruit

but the oak feels more integrated than the initial that I tasted in my previous review of Rioja

2022 | Bodegas Breca El Nacido | Calatayud Hogue Cellars in which caseThe 2022 Breca El Nacido comes from higher elevation vineyards and is just about all Garnacha, co fermented with a kiss of white varieties, that's raised in a mix of tank and barrel. Ripe black cherries, black raspberries, peppery herbs, crushed stone, and violet notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a rare mix of richness and freshness. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
