Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The village 2023 Navatalgordo has grapes (mostly purchased from regular suppliers) from five different parajes or lieu-dits from the stony and quartz soils from the village. It has a stony personality but a perfumed nose of violets and violet pastille, with silty tannins and good grip. It matured in oak vats to polish those village tannins. It's very complete and opens up in the glass nicely, as it's a little more austere than the one from Villanueva. This is the more tannic of the village reds. 9,965 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024.

Description
Comando G Navatalgordo is an exceptional expression of the Garnacha grape, grown in vineyards located at an average altitude of 1100 metres. This wine comes from old vines, planted on granite soils with quartz, which contributes to its unique profile. The low production of these vines, together withbiodynamic practices, ensures exceptional quality.
Winemaking
The winemaking of Comando G Navatalgordo is meticulous. The grapes are not destemmed, and are macerated and fermented with whole bunches. The ageing is carried out in wooden vats and cement tanks, which adds complexity and depth to the wine.
Taste
Comando G Navatalgordo stands out for its pronounced acidity, which acts as the backbone of the wine, bringing freshness and liveliness. This acidity is a reflection of the high altitude of the vineyards. On the palate, the wine is complex and evolves slowly, revealing a chalky character reminiscent of Barolo wines. Its aromatic profile is floral and expressive, with a beautifully powerful acidity reminiscent of Burgundy styles. This wine, though accessible now, will benefit from more time in bottle, promising a fascinating evolution for those who have the patience to wait.
