El Hombre Bala 2020 Commando G

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The super expressive 2020 El Hombre Bala, their entry-level Garnacha from different vineyards in the village of Cadalso de los Vidrios, has around 20% purchased grapes from growers and the rest are from their own vines in this cool and balanced vintage. The vines are organically farmed, and the wine fermented with some 70% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and then matured in used oak vats and 500-liter French oak barrels for 12 months. It's juicy and tasty, with some meaty notes, hints of watermelon, blackberry and a smoky twist. It's very fine and has freshness and is very Cadalso, with the grainy tannins from the village, but it's not heavy.
