Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2028, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Jun 2024

The 2021 Flor de Vetus has an expressive nose of ripe berries, flowers, herbs and spices from the slow ripening grapes from the vines planted around the winery on sandy and clay soils at 725 meters above sea level. It contains some 4% Garnacha co-fermented with the Tempranillo with indigenous yeasts isolated from their property. The wine matured in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels, 20% of them new, for 12 months. It has 14.1% alcohol, a pH of 3.68 and 5.03 grams of acidity and comes through as balanced, approachable and easy to understand, with the ripe character from the zone and a juicy palate with fine-grained tannins. 105,223 bottles and 100 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2023.

The 2021 Flor de Vetus comes from Toro and was aged about nine months in barrel. This red shows a ripe profile with light medicinal notes, soft balsamic tones and subtle oak, plus a hint of flowering vine. Broad and full-bodied with fine tannins, it delivers a clear, flavorful profile with intensity and balance. A powerful but well judged Toro.
