The 2023 La Vizcaína Las Gundiñas has a more herbaceous nose, from old vines that might have 5% of white grapes. It's a wet year in a wet place, a vineyard that retains very well the water in drier years. It has a different expression that seems to transcend the place and vintage (Raúl Pérez compared it with the 2013), and it's more aromatic. I still think this plot behaves better in drier years...

Aromas recall dried leaves, herbs and red fruit. Ripe, with slight grip from stems, it highlights pomegranate and dark fruit flavors. It is technical, taut and expressive, with slight malic acidity.

Tannins are charmingly rustic with a little grip but they frame some lovely ripe red berry fruit. An immediately approachable wine
The 2023 Ultreia Saint Jacques has a lifted nose. In the rainy 2023, they selected from the many plots in different lieux-dits of Valtuille, which this year included El Val and El Cepón in Villafranca, mostly from very old vines, with 50% of the grapes purchased from growers. It fermented mostly with full clusters and had a long maceration and matured in used barrels. It has contained ripeness and less than 13% alcohol...

Floral and fruit-driven on the nose, showing raspberries and blackberries with a delicate lift. The medium- to full-bodied palate has fine-grained, supple tannins and tender red fruit.

The nose is harmonious and subtle, and it doesn't show any excess ripeness or heat. In fact, it is most impressive.
Peppery, with blackberries. The medium- to full-bodied palate is framed by moderately firm tannins. Youthful and attractive, with a dense thread of dark fruit. Very compact.

It's quite linear and with good acidity but ripened thoroughly. This is a small lieu-dit in a cooler place in the village, a place that is harvested later.

The 2022 is broad with firm tannins and dark fruit tones. Compact yet rich (13.5%), it finishes long with hints of hay and layered complexity. Its tight profile conveys character and depth.
