2018 Pago de Carraovejas El Anejon Ribera Del Duero - 95 PTS - TA

tim atkin logo 250"El Anejón is an eight-hectare amphitheatre that faces the castle of Peñafiel and has been part of the Pago de Carraovejas range since 2009. Marrying Tinto Fino with 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, this is a ripe, full-bodied style, even in a cooler, wetter year like 2018, but the power and concentration are framed by attractive oak, with dense plum, liquorice and mulberry flavours and the structure to age. 2025-35"

2018 Pago de Carraovejas El Anejon Ribera Del Duero - 95 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 95 pts"Aromas of blackberry, chocolate-covered espresso bean and lavender set the stage for flavors of cassis, black plum, rose petal, cocoa and licorice. Polished tannins and fine-tuned acidity wend their way to an orange-zest finish.  - Mike DESIMONE"

2019 Pago de Carraovejas El Anejon Ribera Del Duero - 94 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2019 Anejón is composed of Tempranillo with 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Garnet in color, it offers ripe aromas of jam, menthol and black plum. On the palate, mature fruit, soft oak and a plush texture with fine fruit lingering. Creamy and intense, this vintage continues the search for greater elegance by softening the tannins compared to previous years. - Joaquín Hidalgo."

vinous logo"The 2020 Pago de Carraovejas El Anejón is a blend based on Tinto Fino with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It was aged 12 months in 600-liter French oak barrels. The wine opens with a distinctive aromatic profile of black and red fruit, tomato leaf, menthol and peppery oak. Creamy, plush and fresh, it is a bold, finely crafted red with notable character. - Joaquín Hidalgo."

2021 Pago de Carraovejas El Anejon Ribera Del Duero - 98 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"A single-plot wine from the top terraces of the site from an excellent vintage, the 2021 El Anejon is powerful and truly outstanding. Tempranillo is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to an exceptional end, aged 12 months in larger French oak barrels after a triple selection of the grapes. Sharp red fruit has an underbelly of herbal earthiness beneath the fruit, while tight, refreshing acidity accentuates the mineral-driven texture. Bottled in June 2023, this might be the producer’s best wine of the vintage, which is saying a lot, as they’re all of outstanding quality. This will hit a high point in 5-7 years and keep going another 20. - Virginie BOONE"
