Tasting notes
As I've often heard and seen in this vintage, the result of the 2022 Pruno has been much better than expected after a torrid summer and an early harvest. The wine keeps its balance and poise, its fruit-driven personality and the approachability from previous years. It has contained ripeness, 14.05% alcohol, clean aromas and a juicy and velvety texture. Highly drinkable. It's a blend of 94% Tinto Fino, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot. 575,651 bottles,10,000 magnums and 100 double magnums produced, so availability shouldn't be a problem. It was bottled in November 2023.

The 2022 Pruno blends 94% Tempranillo with 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot, grown in Ribera del Duero and was aged 12 months in barrel. Black and red fruit, intense balsamic notes, forest floor and a touch of sun open on the nose, while oak stays in the background. The palate is slightly hollow, with robust tannins and high alcohol, offering a rugged profile reminiscent of youthful energetic vines.
