The juicy velvety and aromatic red 2020 Pcaro del guila Tinto is fine-boned and quite faithfully represents what they want to express with this cuve; it's very tasty and has some chalkiness (perhaps through less ripeness than in years like 2018) with 14% alcohol and mellow acidity. The nose reveals some Cte-Rtie-like notes of smoked meat and violets. 2020 delivered a good crop of healthy grapes that produced the finest wine to date for this bottling. This is superb elegant and powerful with everything in place (seems to be the signature of 2020) and perfectly integrated oak. 71382 bottles and 1979 magnums produced. It was bottled in September 2021. At Dominio del guila they are building an extension to their winery in the outskirts of La Aguilera the hamlet of Aranda de Duero where they have an impressive collection of old head-pruned vineyards?35 hectares all certified organic (like all their wines) vines averaging 100 years of age to produce their current 50000 bottles with the idea to eventually reach 80000 bottles. There is a new-single vineyard "clarete" ros from Peas Aladas in 2020 an ideal vintage that follows the style of the cool 2016 and they don't stop experimenting and searching for new ways.
