Bierzo Ultreia de Valtuille Raul Perez 2023 (750ML)

97 Points, Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com: "Subtle nerve with a touch of violets, red berries and an herbal note. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, leaning toward the former, with precise, integrated tannins. From a centenary vineyard in Villegas lieu-dit, it feels approachable yet taut, with an elegant touch to the fruit. Whole-cluster fermented with a long maceration. Drink or hold. But this should age gracefully." 10/25

97+ Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "I love the clean and precise nose of the 2023 Ultreia Valtuille; it's floral and perfumed with lots of violets and more elegant than I remember of other vintages. It's really approachable and fine-boned, with ripe and elegant tannins. It comes from a vineyard planted in 1887. 5,000 bottles produced." 07/25
