Review

"... the 2023 Viña El Pisón was still completing the second winter of its élevage, now in oak foudre after it spent the first winter in 500- and 600-liter barrels. It looks unusually dark, the darkest of the 2022s and 2023s. It was harvested earlier to keep the spark and finished with 14.35% and a finer-boned palate. The nose has the sensation of riper fruit, even some darkness, a constant in most 2023s, but then the palate has the crunchiness and the vibrant feeling of 2023. There should be some 6,000 bottles produced. " - 98pts, Wine Advocate
