2022 | Bodegas Breca El Nacido | Calatayud Hogue Cellars A bit of dark chocolate

A bit of dark chocolate can also be seen

but the oak feels more integrated than the initial that I tasted in my previous review of Rioja

may be the most quintessential Breton cuvée of the lot

The finish is long with notes of cherry and hints of tight tannins

2022 | Bodegas Breca El Nacido | Calatayud Hogue Cellars A bit of dark chocolateThe 2022 Breca El Nacido comes from higher elevation vineyards and is just about all Garnacha, co fermented with a kiss of white varieties, that's raised in a mix of tank and barrel. Ripe black cherries, black raspberries, peppery herbs, crushed stone, and violet notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a rare mix of richness and freshness. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
