Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
From close to 15% alcohol in the 2019 vintage, we go to 12.9% alcohol in the 2020 Viñas Viejas de Soria. It fermented with 25% full clusters (less that the 2019) and in 17% new barrels (also less than the 2019). The wine is in barrel now and is very young, pale, ethereal and perfumed like no vintage before. These 2020s are completely different—more fluid and fresher. The palate is vibrant with flavors of acid berries and very subtle limestone minerality. The question here is if they are going to be able to replicate this style in future vintages… This looks superb. And they have some 20% more wine too!
