The Wine Advocate # 232 - 31st Aug 2017 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2014 Raúl Pérez • La Vizcaína La Vitoriana - 95/100 - 2017-2022 - $36
My favorite red of the 2014 vintage was the 2014 La Vizcaína La Vitoriana, which was very expressive, floral and elegant, with filigree and detail. There is a lot of depth in the palate, greatly balanced with very fine tannins and a long, tasty finish. This is the oldest vineyard they have, and Raúl Pérez told me the vineyard is not an easy one: very good in some years, not so good in others. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April, the latest bottling, as it needs a long aging after a three-month maceration.
