Familia Nin-Ortiz 'La Rodeda' Velles Vinyes, Priorat DOCa, Spain 2020 Domaine Nebout Shimmering rubyThe 2020 La Rodeda has a much softer texture, very fine, and ripe tannins, quite abundant but fine, and the oak feels better integrated. The 2019 matured in a second use barrel, and this 2020 matured in a third use barrel. The wine shows more clarity. This is a very scarce bottling from a small plot that doesn't get any sun in the afternoon and is therefore protected from the heat. 304 bottles were filled in April 2022. 97 Pts uis Gutierrez
