"The 2022 Dominio de Anza Selecci¢n de Parcelas comes from the same plots as the 2021 with small variations, and it fermented mostly destemmed because he feared the concentration from the year. Although it's only 12.9% alcohol, the wine has ripe aromas of berries, even some raisins, and the palate is more generous, a little rounder and softer but keeping good tension. It seems to be aging at a faster pace. However, three hours later, the wine was a lot fresher, the sensations of very ripeness had disappeared. It's a ripe year, yes, but there is no excess, and the wine felt a lot more balanced, even less evolved and younger than the sensations I found earlier on. Decant a couple of hours in advance? 14,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024, after 12 months in used oak vats and foudres."
