"I couldn't resist sampling the 2015 Algairen, pure Cariñena, even if it was unbottled, and I don't like unbottled samples, as they often show deviations. The grapes are cultivated in an estate called Finca Mendoza at 600 meters altitude on limestone gravel soils; these are young vines. The hand-harvested grapes fermented with neutral yeasts and the wine matured in oak barrels for eight months. I was quite impressed with what I witnessed, varietal character and contained ripeness, with a touch of oak, but nothing for being a barrel sample. The palate revealed some fine tannins and that dusty earthiness the variety is capable of. Drink Date: 2017-2019. Score: 88-90." - Luis Gutiérrez, @wine_advocate robertparker.com, June 30, 2017.
