The 2019 Garmón Tinto is a big boy, coming in listed at 14.5 percent octane and offering up a deep and promising bouquet of cassis, black cherries, cigar ash, dark chocolate, a bit of tobacco leaf and cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, plush and shows off excellent mid-palate depth, with ripe, firm tannins, good focus and grip and a long, balanced and still quite youthful finish. This is made from tempranillo vines that range from thirty to more than one hundred years of age. The wine is still very primary, but carries its ripeness very nicely and will be a fine bottle once it is ready to drink. 2033-2075+. - John Gilman - Issue #103 January/February 2023.
