Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Pesus has a lot of everything. In this vintage, the blend is 80% Tempranillo and 20% between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from a selection of small plots of vineyards, located in the village of La Horra (Valdelayegua, Cañuelo, Carranguix and Bercial) and planted with very old vines. The élevage is always 18 months in brand new French oak barrels, which is less evident in this 2012, and still shows quite spicy and especially toast, but the toasty aromas should soon be absorbed with some time in the bottle. The technical data does not mention anymore the 200% new oak treatment (aging in a new barrel and then racking into another new barrel), so they might have stopped doing this. The palate is full-boded with great concentration, dry extract and intensity of flavors. It could do with a little more freshness. If only the élevage could respect more the quality of the fruit here, this wine could be truly spectacular. Still, it is a superb example of well-oaked, powerful Ribera. A Sumo wrestler. 2,000 bottles produced.
