Notas de "The Wine Advocate"

2021 is clearly the finest vintage of the trio of 2020, 2021 and 2022, and the bottled 2021 Pétalos delivers what the unbottled samples promised: a wine with lower alcohol than ever (13.5%), lighter, a little narrower but with the juiciness of Mencía that seems to come back after some time in bottle. It has lots of notes of aromatic herbs, with some similar aromas to the La Faraona. It's quite expressive and showy, very pleasant and easy to drink, very gourmand, with a velvety mouthfeel and very fine tannins. 320,000 bottles and 2,567 magnums produced. It was bottled between November 2022 and March 2023. Approachable now, very hedonistic. - Luis Gutiérrez. 

Notas de Cata de Peñín sobre la añada 2013: Color cereza intenso, borde violáceo. Aroma fruta madura, balsámico, cacao fino. Boca equilibrado, especiado, largo, buena acidez.

"Regaliz, café acompañan a las frutas rojas y negras en un aroma atractivo. Taninos finos, goloso, equilibrado."
