Certainly comparable with the greatest red Burgundy, this is so juicy and intense, with an effortless concentration, lots of spice, and a finish that lasts for minutes. Such a complex wine, and one with remarkable poise. Astonishing.
They harvested the 2021 La Faraona in four different tries, and the result is only two barrels, because the slow ripeness and cold exposure meant the grapes were not ripening and they thinned the crop to leave only the bunches that they thought the plants were going to be able to ripen properly. The vinification was more normal, similar to other years, but the wine has incredible depth and complexity. Despite having similar alcohol to the rest of the 2021s (13.7% in this case), La Faraona feels fuller and rounder, less austere and showier. It's terribly sapid. The very limited volume will mean an incremental increase in price.
