Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 El Esquilón has lower alcohol, 11.7%, and more freshness. It was produced in the same way as the 2020, with maybe a slightly shorter maceration. This is from a place close to El Ciruelo, but here the exposition is east-west. And even though the soils are similar, the tannic profile is different; here, the tannins are a little more rustic, more Nebbiolo than Pinot. This feels quite open on the fruit-driven nose; there is less reduction than in the 2020 I tasted next to it. 4,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.

Description
Suertes del Marqués El Esquilón is an exclusive red wine, as its production is very limited due to the low yield of the vineyard. It is made with 70% Listan Negro grapes of 80 years old and 30% Tintilla grapes.
It is a very expressive wine classified by experts as elegant and with personality. When you taste it, you will be able to notice an ample balance and a long finish.
Winemaking
Suertes del Marqués El Esquilón is made by hand harvesting the grapes, which are stored in 16 kg boxes. The grapes are destemmed without being crushed and then subjected to a natural alcoholic fermentation process, deposited in open concrete vats at a controlled temperature, where manual punching down techniques are also applied.
The malolactic fermentation process is carried out in other types of barrels made from French oak, and thenaged for an extended period of 14 months. The bottling process is carried out without filtering the must.
Taste
This is a wine with high levels of concentration and volume that allow you to taste the touch of red fruits and some notes between cocoa and coffee. When in contact with the palate, its permanence is ample and elegant, also noticing a balanced acidity with fine and persistent tannins.
A wine with permanence and soft nuances of elegance.
Suertes del Marqués El Esquilón comes from the harvest of a fruit grown in low yielding soils, due to the presence of volcanic rock in the plot, however, the result is an intense, complex and long lasting wine. This makes it an excellent choice to accompany red meat dishes, goat cheeses, chicken and stews.
Suertes del Marqués El Esquilón is undoubtedly an expressive, elegant wine with a great balance in its flavour.
