A first bottle of the 2021 San Lázaro felt austere, serious and a little closed, but a second one was a lot more expressive and elegant but not quite reaching the expressiveness of the 2021 El Carretil that today stole the show. This is subtle, delicate and svelte, a wine of finesse (but never without power), harmonious and complete. 4,000 bottles were filled in May 2023.

Black berry, fern, black truffle and blueberry aromas follow through to a medium to full body with a tight structure in the palate showing compacted fine tannins and excellent length. Lead pencil shavings and dark fruits in the finish. Very racy. Drink in 2027 and onwards but already beautiful, if a little shy, now.
