$21.60The Story
Well balanced with firm yet subtle tannins. Characterized by its ripe, black fruit and berry flavors, violet aromatics and subtle spice, Pago de Carraovejas can be fully enjoyed young although it continues to develop in the bottle.
93 Points - James Suckling
A concentrated, dense Ribera del Duero, but there is a lot to like if you enjoy plushness, with its lush blackberry fruit and dark chocolate. Fine-grained and full-bodied on the palate, but fresh and still pretty tense, with chalky tannins. Drink from 2025.
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Pago de Carraovejas wants to be the expression of the valley that names the wine. It was produced with 93% Tempranillo, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot in a very warm and dry and challenging year when the wine achieved a whopping 15.5% alcohol after spending 12 months in 226- and 600-liter French and American oak barrels. It's dark, aromatic and heady, juicy and a little decadent, with ripe flavors and fine tannins, clearly reflecting the conditions of the year.
