Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Reminiscent of the 2016, the 2018 Pago Negralada has a mixture of red and black fruit, some spices and firm but fine-grained tannins that give it tension and a chalky sensation in the texture. It has 14.5% alcohol and good freshness and balance. It matured in one-third new oak. In general, the 2018s have less color than the corresponding 2019s, but it's more noticeable in this single-vineyard Tempranillo. It feels varietal and complex, with some development and notes of berries, spices and brick dust, serious, subtle and harmonious. The palate reveals the austerity of the vintage and the place, and it is medium to full-bodied, with fine tannins. It reminds me of the wines from the Duero from yesteryear. A vintage like the ones from the past? 21,269 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2020.

Description
Abadía Retuerta Pago Negralada is an exceptional wine that reflects the essence of Tempranillo, the only variety used in its production. This single varietal wine, from vineyards located in Sardón de Duero, Valladolid, is grown in soils of deep gravel and sand on the surface, at an altitude of 850 metres above sea level.
Winemaking
The production of Abadía Retuerta Pago Negralada includes a very short maceration of 9 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in half new and half used barrels. It is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, which contributes to its unique flavour profile.
Taste
Abadía Retuerta Pago Negralada is characterised by a deep and vibrant flavour, with austere tannins. On the nose, aromas of candied and black fruit, such as black plums, blackberries and picota cherries, are complemented by balsamic and spicy notes of pine, black liquorice and smoke. On the palate, this wine stands out for its vibrant acidity and remarkable depth, enveloping the palate with a silky, fresh texture and leaving an elegant, lingering impression. Flavours of fresh red and black fruits are nuanced by notes of spice, wood and subtle mineral nuances, creating an exquisite taste experience of limited production.
