Bodegas Exopto - Rioja Bozeto De Exopto 2022 (750ml)

Wine Advocate 91+ points

"The pale, fruit-driven and very young red 2022 Bozeto de Exopto is juicy and approachable, mixing 60% Garnacha with 35% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano. Fresh and dominated by the Garnacha, it is ripe without excess at 14.5% alcohol, reflecting the conditions of the year. Only the Tempranillo aged in oak vats, and the Garnacha was kept in concrete. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023."

"The 2022 Bozeto de Exopto is 60% Garnacha, 35% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano sourced from the Sonsierra Area in Rioja Alavesa and Alfaro, Rioja Oriental. Aged for seven months in concrete vats, this garnet red wine offers notes of pink peppercorn, dried leaves, black tea and sour cherry. Indulgent and fairly taut due to the stem tannins, it lingers with a rich and cleansing finish. This is a unique, two-character red from Rioja."
