“Exopto’s very young 2021 Bozeto red [...] seems very balanced, with good ripeness (14.5%), showing the Garnacha and the more austere Graciano with beautiful fruit and freshness. It is very well done and has a complexity and depth that exceeds its price. It was aged in a combination of concrete and oak containers for about six months. An excellent deal in one of the best vintages for this wine.” (Wine Advocate 2022)

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The very young 2021 Bozeto de Exopto red blends Tempranillo from Ábalos and Mediterranean Garnacha from Alfaro (with 10% Graciano), and it seems very balanced, with good ripeness (14.5%), showing the Garnacha and the more austere Graciano with beautiful fruit and freshness. It is very well done and has a complexity and depth that exceeds its price. It was aged in a combination of concrete and oak containers for about six months. An excellent deal in one of the best vintages for this wine. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022.

About the wine:
Spicy nose with notes of black beans, cherry compote and toasted Mediterranean herbs and spices. Fleshy and supple, with a lovely cherry pie flavour on the palate, rounded out by fresh, juicy tannins. There’s not a huge depth here, but it’s vibrant and alive. A blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo and Graciano. Drink now.
