Finca Villacreces 2020
Descripción
Procedente de viñas viejas con los rendimientos más bajos, Finca Villacreces es el vino homónimo de la bodega y su buque insignia. Su elaboración en tinas de hormigón y roble, y posterior crianza en barrica francesa han dado lugar en esta añada 2020 un vino más elegante, fresco y pulido.

Opinión de los críticos
Having the 2019 to taste next to the 2020 Finca Villacreces reveals how the quality of the 2020 tannins are more elegant, and the wine comes through as finer-boned and fresher too, with power, concentration and structure. It was produced with 90% Tempranillo, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot and has 14.1% alcohol and very good freshness. It fermented in raw concrete vats and 10,000-liter oak vats and matured in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels, with a few more months in foudre and oak vat to complete 15 months, which seem to have given a sleeker and more polished wine with a gentler mouthfeel. 40,500 bottles and 525 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2022.
Cocoa powder, bergamot and some stones to the fresh blackberries and blueberries. Full-bodied on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a juicy, bright finish. Quite energetic. A very consistent Ribera del Duero demonstrating outstanding quality. 86% tempranillo, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 4% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vinazo. El vino ha ido creciendo con la oxigenación. Maridaje de cine con merluza en salsa verde
Perfecto
El vino está bueno, pero no para el precio que tiene. Comparado con la añada del 2012, esto es agua con colorante
Buenisimo, un pero, algo caro
