Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

The 2023 Pancrudo is pure Garnacha from 80+-year-old, head-pruned vines from Badarán on red soils rich in iron at 700 meters above sea level. The uncrushed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts with a short maceration, and the wine matured in a combination of foudres, barriques and concrete eggs for one year. It's perfumed and aromatic, but it's not light or ethereal, it's structured and serious; it has integrated oak, but the thin patina of spice is there and the texture of the tannins also show it. With time, it develops some nuances of orange peel and gets more complex and interesting. It has elegance, power and ripeness, 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.41, with clout and abundant tannins. It's balanced and tasty, still young and with years ahead of it. If you want to open it now, it's already very pleasant, but it's better with food. 8,084 bottles and 170 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2025.

James Suckling:

A juicy garnacha with plenty of ripe raspberries, rose hips and red berries. A touch of spices as well. Medium-bodied and brambly with firm, chalky tannins and a long, fruit-expressive finish. Concentrated but not candied. An approachable, immediately drinkable style. Released in 2026.

Tim Atkin:

2023 wasn’t any easy year in the Alto Najerilla because of rain during harvest, but you wouldn’t know it from the quality of this varietal, old-vine Garnacha from Badarán. Scented, delicate, racy and refined, this is a crunchy, pithy, red-fruited delight with layers of strawberry and redcurrant, a waft of violet and a stony, slightly ferrous undertone. 2027-35
