Bodegas Ponce, Estrecha Manchuela 2021

95 points Wine Advocate
"The 2021 La Estrecha has a perfumed nose with floral notes (it could make you think of Garnacha), hints of aromatic herbs and polished and elegant tannins. This fermented in an oak foudre and matured in used 600-liter French oak barrels for 10 months. It's serious, with depth and complexity, a wine that is special in the portfolio, from a special vineyard. It feels tighter than the 2022. 4,200 bottles were filled in July 2022."

"A pure and rather pinot-esque bobal that delivers excellent drinkability and delineated aromas of red flowers, stones, raspberries and potpourri. A hint of grilled thyme and Mediterranean herbs. Textured and pure on the palate with excellent precision and focus. An elegant, effortless and beautiful bobal that really speaks to you with finesse, texture and poise. From organically grown grapes. Quite irresistible now, but can hold."
