Marañones 2020

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The still unbottled 2020 Marañones comes from a classical year when the wine needs more time, and the idea was to wait to bottle it a little later. There are more herbal notes and the tannin from San Martín, less floral and more austere, with more structure and pungent tannins. 2020 is a year of quality and quantity, elegant and serious, with great balance and freshness, with fruit and complexity, hints of flowers, good length, finesse, chalky tannins… The wine feels superb; it’s elegant in the style of 2016 and clearly a bargain for the price asked. This is aging in three oak foudres from which they could fill around 12,000 bottles.
