KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"This is earthy, with graphite, violets and spice. Very refined, with plenty of fruit, well balanced with the wood. The palate is velvety, with polished tannins, round yet balanced, with a clear sense of definition. Made from grapes ranging between 15 and 90 years old in La Horra. Aged in 45% new oak, which is seamlessly integrated. A subtle and balanced interpretation with precise tannins. Drink or hold. - Jacobo García Andrade, Senior Editor"

"Made from vines under 50 years old, the 2023 Preludio comes from Ribera del Duero and was vinified and aged in 600-liter barrels. Vibrant already in color, it opens with remarkably clear red fruit, while oak remains secondary behind blood orange and delicate floral notes. The palate is dry, with unusually high acidity for Ribera; it gains energy through a juicy and vibrant flow. The tannins are fine, reactive and flexible at once, giving shape without hardening the wine. An interesting case of early harvesting in a warm year, handled with real precision. - Joaquin HIDALGO"

"Unmistakable depth here with fine wood spices, a hint of violets and dried meats to the fresh blackberries and black cherries. Rich and full-bodied, this has dusty tannins, the solid, juicy fruit infused with a distinctively chalky texture. Powerful, melted yet long. Drink or hold. - Zekun SHUAI, Senior Editor"

"A deep nose of intense savouriness, with weaves of oily black olive tapenade, plum jam, black cherry jam, sweetened Earl Grey and cherry sorbet; sage, dry basil, tarragon and saffron play in the background. Really interesting detail and nuance in a lovely wine of great energy and verve. Still a lot of time on its side to deliver fully. - Ines SALPICO"

"Good winemakers step up in challenging vintages like 2022. This pure Tinto Fino from Michael Zaccagnini is a case in point. Combining grapes from La Horra and 10% from Gumiel de Mercado, it's a youthful, structured red with the concentration to age. Chalky top notes complement a palate of blueberry and black cherry, granular tannins and toasty 50% new oak. 2026-32

"The 2022 Preludio comes from Ribera del Duero. It was aged for 18 months, 45% in new 600-liter barrels. Red fruit, cherry, cedar, herbs and a hint of caramel open on the nose. The palate is structured yet juicy, with fine, slightly reactive tannins that deliver an enveloping mouthfeel and some aging-driven nuance, though the flavor remains primary. A flavorful red with youthfully firm tannins. - Joaquín HIDALGO"

"Fine oak spices with fresh, rich blackberries, grilled herbs and cocoa powder. Juicy and full-bodied yet concentrated, with powerful but fine-veined tannins. Polished and quite long. Very complete and well knit. 100% tempranillo. Drink from 2025. - Zekun SHUAI, Senior Editor."

"Graphite and minerality take charge of this dynamic 100% Tempranillo from vines ranging between 20 and 80 years old. Juicy blackberry soon emerge and blue floral notes grab the tongue, part of the concentrated array of dried fruits and flora. Elegant to the core."

"Fruit-of-the-wood and charcuterie aromas lead the way for flavors of blackberry, raspberry, milk chocolate, olive paste and aniseed. here is a nice play of cool spice, savory characteristics and fruit set into plush tannins that gives way to a savory but bright finish. - Mike DESIMONE"
