La Nieta 2022 Vinedos de Paganos

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

Always a favorite of mine, the 2022 La Nieta didn't betray its floral, elegant and complex, insinuating character even in a year like 2022 and is aromatic, clean and expressive from the first minute, with purity and energy. Even the tannins are more elegant and polished than other 2022s. Perfumed, subtle and elegant, it developed a note of blood with time in the glass, which Marcos Eguren likes to call iodine. It transcends the quality of the year.

Winespectator (94)

Finely knit and seamless, there's a fluid grace to this nonetheless powerful red. The muscular tannins show a creamy edge, allowing for fine integration with the concentrated flavor profile of boysenberry coulis, plum cake and herbed black olive. A skein of floral, anise and graphite notes winds through the lingering finish. Drink now through 2040.

James Suckling (96)

Floral yet restrained with good fruit, showing spices, minerals and some blackberries. Admirable tension on the palate with fine tannins that are firm and vertical, giving elasticity to the medium- to full-bodied palate. Very long. Nothing heavy. Rigorous berry selection by hand. 100% tempranillo. Drink from 2026. About 5,000 bottles made.
