The Wine Advocate - Luis Gutiérrez - Jan 18 2024 - 2021 Bruto Monastrell - 92+/100 - 2025-2030 - $46
The 2021 Monastrell is from an ungrafted vineyard at 800 meters in altitude. It has more freshness and a little lower alcohol than the 2020. It has some toasty notes denoting youth after it matured in French and American oak barrels for 23 months. There's more fruit, and the oak feel better integrated. 13,000 bottles were filled in September 2023. I'd leave it in the cellar for a little while before pulling the cork, as these wines tend to evolve and absorb the oak nicely.
