The palate is better with more weight and body than recent vintages
Bouquet of ripe red fruit is well integrated with toasty/balsamic notes
balanced by savory undertones of wild herbs
Bernabeleva Arroyo del Tortolas, Madrid, Spain 2021 Azienda vitivinicola F.lli Ioppa Long lasting end where notesThere is more complete ripeness in the 2021 Arroyo del Trtolas, which shows a darker hue than the 2020 I tasted next to it. It has more clout, full development of aromas and flavors and 15% alcohol, but it also has more acidity and a livelier palate, with a stony, chalky sensation, fine tannins and a long, dry and clean finish. This is still a little austere and backward. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
