"The 2023 Laurel has a stunning, expressive, showy and aromatic nose of ripe berries and flowers. It's not a shy wine, as it reached 15.5% alcohol, and it's voluptuous and full-bodied. The grapes were small and the juice was concentrated. They finished harvesting around mid-September, and the blend is around 75% Garnacha and 25% Syrah. It fermented destemmed and matured in 2,000-liter oak and concrete vats and around 15% in barriques. It's open and showy, very impressive, aromatic and peachy, with volume and round tannins. It is definitely a hedonistic and forward vintage that is round and lush, with the wild character it always has, with aromatic herbs and a young and energetic vibe.”
