Corimbo Bodegas La Horra

Parker - Gutierrez 93, 2024 - 2033, The 2021 Corimbo was produced with Tinto Fino from vines between 25 and 30 years of age, from small plots in La Horra, Roa and other villages around them, and it fermented in French oak vat and matured for 14 months in oak barrels, 80% French and 20% American. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.72 and 4.9 grams of acidity. It's higher pitched than the 2022 that I tasted next to it: it has an herbal hint that provides freshness, the tannins have a different quality here, and the ripeness is better here. 50,902 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. Bodegas La Horra is the Ribera del Duero project from Roda in Rioja in partnership with the Balbás brothers. Their production averages 150,000 bottles.
