R. Parker 95/100: The 2022 Arbossar comes from the north-facing vineyard planted in 1910 that names the wine, a 1.6-hectare steep plot, one of the oldest in the region, at 400 meters above sea level on slate and granite soils. The full clusters fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in concrete for eight months. It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.6 and mellow acidity. This is very Cariñena, with its rustic side, with character, some earthy notes, hints of herbs, berries and flowers and a mineral, iron-like note developing with time in the glass. It has power and energy, medium ripeness and very fine tannins, with a very balanced mouthfeel.
