Tasting notes
Clay plot, Paraje el Chorro, at 720 m elevation. All Tempranillo. Intense crimson. Very rich and intense with perceptibly subtle layers. Quite a bit of alcohol but really good constitution. (JR)

The 2020s feel very elegant, and the 2020 Paso Las Mañas, which mentions the Paraje El Chorro in Samaniego where the vines are, is no exception. It has a very lively palate that is effervescent with freshness and chalky minerality, leaving a dry sensation that is very tasty, almost salty. It's young-ish Tempranillo that achieved 13.5% alcohol and kept a pH of 3.42, meaning moderate ripeness, a medium body and very good freshness—a constant across the 2020s. 6,000 bottles were filled in January 2022 after 12 months in 3,500-liter foudre.
