Tasting Notes
"The 2021 Cien Lanzas Tinaja is the second vintage of this red produced with grapes from vineyards at 830 to 970 meters above sea level in the village of Cenicientos, mostly from the Cerrillo Matarranos vineyard. It fermented with full clusters in a 1,200-liter tinaja with a 62-day maceration, followed by 10 months in the tinaja where it fermented and a further nine months in stainless steel. It has contained ripeness and alcohol (13.5%) and very good freshness and acidity (the pH is 3.29). It's balsamic, medicinal and intensely herbal, with hints of cigar ash, floral and complex. Cenicientos tends to deliver dusty wines that are earthier and closer to El Real de San Vicente. This is pungent and has abundant, fine-grained tannins. The developed nose reminds me of some vintages of Rayas. It's a red of strong personality. 1,096 bottles and six magnums were filled in June 2023." - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
