Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Luis Gutierrez - 28 Feb 18
Sitting at the top of the hierarchy, the 2014 Viña El Pisón is a wine that always stands out. It has a different balance, in the sense that it feels more complex, complete and balanced. Even within the power of the year, it has round and fine-grained tannins, powerful but subtle with great length. I again see the chalky tannins from El Carretil, with a very tasty, mineral, almost salty finish, and the elegance of the limestone soils. This has superb balance and everything it should take for a great future in bottle. 6,600 bottles produced.
