Tim Atkin MW - Ribera del Duero Special Report 2022 - Ausàs Interpretación Cosecha 2020 - 95/100 - (15%)
2020 marks the fifth vintage of ex-Vega Sicilia winemaker Xavier Ausàs' own project and continues the run of impressive releases. Based on grapes from his own vineyards in Nava de Roa, with the remaining 60% sourced from growers in Gumiel de Mercado, Moradillo de Roa and Roa itself, this is a plush, perfumed, well-balanced Tinto Fino, with aromas of Asian spices and chocolate, a palate of tangerine and blackberry, supple tannins and an undertow of acidity. 2024-32
