2022 | Sierra Cantabria Finca El Bosque | Rioja Azienda Agricola Negro Angelo e Figli including declassified grapes from youngerThe 2022 Finca El Bosque grows in clay limestone soils with abundant gravel and pebbles from bush trained vines. It shows surprising finesse and elegance, its rounded edges etched in a contrast of iron like black fruit supported by tremendous structure and firm tannins. The fruit is rich and ripe but more savory in character, nuanced in a sous bois quality and bright underlying acidity that persists through a long, balsamic finish. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
