The tannin, still seeking full integration, is of exceptional quality – fine, precise and promising. The wine flows effortlessly across the palate, light yet expressive, with a refined chalky sensation building through the mid palate. The nose leans towards a more floral register, evoking dried flowers with a subtle, elegant perfume. Still very tight at this stage but clearly destined to unfold beautifully in bottle. A Garnacha of striking finesse – sharp, poised and exquisitely delicate – with a gentle ferrous touch lingering on the back palate. Simply magnificent.”\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e99 Points, Parker (\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.robertparker.com\/author\/QN8yNJQiHh9rsiTGs\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: none;\"\u003eLuis Gutiérrez\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e) \u003c\/span\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003eThe nose of the 2023 El Jardín de las Iguales Garnacha is stunning and made me go back to the glass over and over again, as it kept changing and unfurling new layers every few minutes. It's perfumed and elegant, spicy à la Vosne-Romanée from the south, with aromas of wild flowers, red fruit freshness, aromatic herbs, curry, celery and even white flowers. It is long, complex and balanced, with very fine-boned, chalky tannins. It has contained ripeness and 12.5% alcohol. Weightless but with structure, power with elegance, it is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. This is the most complete, most elegant and finest vintage of this wine since they started. It should develop beautifully in bottle and for a very long time. 1,399 bottles, 60 magnums and three double magnums produced\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: #383434; background: white;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e96 Points, Gary Walsh. The Wine Front\u003c\/span\u003e - \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis is a crazy interesting and engaging wine. It has a jamon savoury character, curry spice, rosehip tea, a whole range of dusty herbal things, cut red capsicum, redcurrant jelly and fresh raspberry, a cranberry nip to acidity, fine peppery tannin, umami almost seaweed salinity and raw hazelnut, crisp and lively, with a bright finish of excellent length. It builds and changes with time in glass. Almost an intellectual pursuit here, such is its distinctive character. I can’t think of any wine quite like it.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethereal Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990192046235,"sku":null,"price":735.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2548\/4596\/files\/FrontonioElJardindelasIgualesGarnacha.png?v=1765081988","url":"https:\/\/ethereal-wines.myshopify.com\/products\/2023-bodegas-frontonio-el-jardin-de-las-iguales-garnacha-pre-arrival-only","provider":"Ethereal Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
