Cuentaviñas Los Yelsones 2019
£151.62 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The pricey 2019 Los Yelsones is truly impressive, aromatic, nuanced, powerful and elegant, with power and finesse and some oak still to be integrated on the palate. It's pure Tempranillo from a plot planted in 1970 in La Rad in the fourth valley of San Vicente de la Sonsierra where the soils have big blocks of calcium carbonate (yelsones) that name the wine. This matured in 500-liter oak barrels for 18 months, but the oak feels more integrated than the initial 2018 that I tasted in my previous review of Rioja. It's a showy and impressive wine that should develop nicely in bottle. 1,828 bottles were filled in June 2021.
