2020 Flor de Silos, Cillar de Silos, Ribera del Duero, Spain
Description
A lifted, red fruit nose, bright and expressive. Great power on the palate, delicate, rich and velvety depth, lush and dark fruit, plus a hint of oak. Fine-grained, grippy tannins and well-judged acidity keep it all in balance on the long and fine finish. This is a lovely wine and will give joy from 2023 - 2030+.

A lovely, complex nose. Perhaps one of those wines you can happily pick out flavours from throughout an afternoon or evening. Alongside the fruit, there is so much more, with savoury aromas and a hint of liquorice. Whilst the fruit on the palate is more prominent, it is again the beguiling savoury element. For me, this is the most interesting of their top 2020’s, and it will be fascinating to see how this develops.

Critics reviews
The 2020 Flor de Silos shows very high ripeness, notes of candied fruit, dry prunes and an earthy touch, reflecting a warm and ripe year. It has intense oak aromas of vanilla, clove and pepper, with hints of tar and warm stones. The palate is round and full-bodied, with glossy tannins, plenty of oak-related flavours and a dry and chalky finish. It's very ripe and oaky, for fans of the style.
Drink 2025 - 2030
Flor is a single-parcel wine, sourced from the Altos de Revilla vineyard in Gumiel de Izán that was planted in 1927 and 1930. With malolactic fermentation in new French oak, this is smooth and well-balanced, with plenty of backbone and grip, mocha and cigar box top notes, and a blackberry and blood orange fruit core.
