2020 Bodegas Exopto La Mimbrera Graciano Rioja [WA93+]

Producer: Bodegas Exopto  Region: Rioja, Spain  Varietal: Graciano Year: 2020  Wine Advocate, 93+ Points  The 2020 La Mimbrera Graciano is the third vintage of the pure Graciano from the first vineyard he planted in the same plot as the regular old-vine La Mimbrera. It surprised me with its floral nose that is perfumed and elegant and its vibrant palate, which does not have the depth and complexity of the old vines (yet). It’s spicy and peppery and has a moderate 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.54 and 6.5 grams of acidity, which makes it come through as a little austere, with some tannins showing up in the finish.  Alcohol: 13%  Bio-Dynamic farming  *Price and availability in store may vary.
