These wines were tasted at Divine´s office a couple of weeks ago.
2023 Vino de Autor Tempranillo, Bodegas Valdelana
An open, direct nose with notes of plums, blackberries, chocolate and some new wood. Lovely fruit.
The taste is tight and structured with notes of chocolate covered cherries, asphalt and bonfire smoke. Very long and juicy. A bargain at 21 Euro.
92p (tasted 2025/05)
2022 Crianza Tempranillo, Bodegas Valdelana
A deep, earthy, tight nose with denser, darker fruit than the wine above. Smoky notes. Very intense.
The taste is rich, concentrated and restrained with black fruit, silky tannins and a long, long finish. Needs 5+ years.
93p (tasted 2025/05)
2021 Viñedos Singulares Red Juan Valdelana, Bodegas Valdelana
A blend of Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo, Tempranillo and Viura from vines planted between 1920 and 1940. The nose is massive and intense yet gorgeously balanced and pure with notes of new leather, plums, warm tiles and dusty earth. Very complex.
The taste is taut and handsome with steady tannins, rich black fruit and a finish that goes on for a minute. A very fine acidity. 8+ years. Great wine, and a real bargain at 39 Euro.
95p (tasted 2025/05)
