100 Pts Tim Atkin

As with other vintages, there is a plus of complexity and depth in the 2020 La Condenada, which mentions the Paraje Camino del Ciego from Baños de Ebro where the vineyard that names the wine is located, a 0.75-hectare plot . It's a little shy with faint floral aromas and a note reminiscent of cereals, undeveloped and needing to burn that baby fat with some more time in bottle. But the palate is phenomenal— textured and fine-grained with chalky tannins, fresh and vibrant, clean and precise with some acid berry flavors that make me salivate. This is going to develop nicely in bottle and for a long time.
