The cuvée Poulosa 2022 from Rául Pérez, now recognized as one of Spain's greatest winemakers, offers a rich, powerful tasting experience. Its punchy, rustic tannins harmoniously counterbalance its intense flavors of jammy black fruits. Blackberry jam, crushed blackcurrant, violet and licorice: this is a warm, ripe vintage whose fine, energetic, balancing acidity offers immediate tasting pleasure. Open around a convivial table: with poultry, baked Mont d'Or or stewed meat, enjoy!

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Vin noté (guide 2024) 92/100 (Vin formidable)
About the wine :
The 2022 La Vizcaína La Poulosa is the wine that has suffered most from the effects of the heat of 2022, as it comes from the hottest region. It has a dark color and a very ripe nose, bordering on overripe, with notes of prunes, dates and a touch of warm earth. The palate is rustic, with abundant tannins and a powdery finish. 2024-2028
