They resumed producing one of their earlier wines in 2017, and the 2019 Cuvée Palomar has finesse and power. It was produced with a blend of 52% Tempranillo, 26% Garnacha, 20% Graciano and 2% Malbec that achieved high ripeness in this warm year, hitting the scale at 15% alcohol, but with low pH of 3.49. It matured for 14 months in oak barrels, 25% of them new. It's spicy, smoky, tender, expressive and complex, with no varietal footprint; it's Mediterranean, balsamic and aromatic with candied fruit, notes of herbs and sweet spices. It's powerful but fresh and has mellow acidity. 14,563 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022.
