93pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Silver Label now shows the name on the label (and also "Etiqueta Plateada" in Spanish). It's their first wine in their new era, which started in 2002, a wine that aims to promote the quality and potential of Monastrell. It matured in new and second-use French oak barrels for one year, but they were looking for lower toast and less impact of the wood in the wine than earlier vintages when it was 100% new oak. It has a paler color and a subtler and more floral nose, keeping the poise and showing surprisingly fresh for the conditions of the year. It's ripe, reflecting the warm and dry weather, with 15% alcohol but very good freshness, coming through as balanced and harmonious, clean and pure. This is a bargain and a success for the year, a champion in drinkability.

Winemaker's Notes

This wine has been produced with Monastrell grapes from old vineyards with low yield, planted in limestone and chalky soils. This results in a deep purple/black color wine, with explosive aromas of ripe currant, red berries and smoked notes. Rich, powerful and voluminous on the attack, silken and juicy in the mid-palate with excellent length and persistence, and a long spicy well-balanced finish including toasted notes provided by the French wood.

Perfect to pair with game meat or creamy rices, stewed vegetables, mushrooms, game and poultry, casserole, fish and sauce seafood, smoked, blue and cured cheeses, grilled and/or barbecued white and red meat, roast lamb, pork or beef.
