2018 Pegaso Granito, Telmo Rodríguez, Sierra de Gredos, Spain

Description

This serious wine has an intense, dark cherry colour and a fine, dark-fruited nose of blackberries and elderberries with a lifted top note of sage. It is a ‘dark’ Garnacha, all savoury, like tasting granite, with delicate touches of dried coriander spice and a powerful, downward-focused energy about it. The palate is just so fine and elegant, yet still full of that dark fruit and savoury minerality, almost like tasting pure terroir. Its powerful character might have been overwhelming yet it is fabulously fresh with sophisticated, supple tannins. There is a lovely, mouthcoating element to the sweet fruit which completely offsets a complex note of bitter herbs and mocha. It is still tight and restrained at this stage and has a long way ahead of it with plenty of time to relax and unwind. Extremely impressive.

Critics reviews

Luis Gutiérrez 95/100
It's always interesting to compare the 2018 Pegaso Granito from the one produced with grapes from schist-rich soils, especially when they are from one of the finest vintages in Gredos in recent times. It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in 500- and 600-liter French oak barrels for 18 months. This has very good ripeness but without excess and is a little closed and austere. It has the cold sensation of the granite. It's very balanced and should develop nicely in bottle. This is one step up from the previous years. 3,872 bottles were filled in July 2020. Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate
