Tasting note
Los Yesares are 4 different old Pie Franco vineyards planted in Las Pedreras-Reventones. It is the place of height where the historical vineyards of the town were located. Steep slopes, deep calcareous sands and gravels, diverse orientations and Mediterranean forest create a more tense Monastrell profile with red forest and scrubland fruit. Aged wines.
In the press
95+/100 - The 2022 Los Yesares, always the tightest of the reds, took a long time in the glass to open up, but it shows a lot of finesse and nuance. None of the 2022s show any heat. The soils are rich in white marl, with some sand and silex, and the mother rock is quite fractured; so, the roots go deeper into the soil. The wine has depth and is more serious but perhaps not as approachable as La Servil, but I believe it has very good aging potential. It has darker fruit (mixing red and black berries) and more spice, with subtle aromatic herbs. It has power and clout, with contained energy and great balance, and it has fine-grained, chalky tannins, reminiscent of the tannins in some Italian wines. It has a lot of intensity and a long, clean and tasty finish. Drink 2026-2037
