Critical Acclaim
The new young and lively unoaked red 2022 El Predilecto has strong notes of licorice and herbs and a touch of fennel and cherry fruit. It was produced with 65% Garnacha from Badarán, Cárdenas and Cordovín and 35% Tempranillo from Samaniego, and it matured exclusively in concrete to avoid any makeup. It's fruit-driven and juicy, ripe and velvety. 36,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023. (Luis Gutiérrez)
The 2022 El Predilecto from Gómez Cruzado is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from Rioja Alta. Following a brief élevage in oak and concrete, it opens with floral notes and a touch of fresh red fruit. This is juicy and clean on the palate, with light grip and nuanced herbal flavors. The 2022 is modern and refreshing.
Vibrant cherries, spiced berries, hibiscus flowers and a touch of chalk. Fruity and fine-grained, with firm, chalky tannins and a fruit-expressive finish. No oak here, but excellent quality. Drink or hold.
