refined and seductive

The textural complexity is off the scale

lightly spiced

There is both good volume and a lovely sense of delineation to the focused and powerful middle weight plus flavors that exude evident minerality on the slightly tangy but much more harmonious finish

Artadi La Poza de Ballesteros 2023 Pommard refined and seductive94 95 Points The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutirrez I found some spicy oak in the unbottled sample of the 2023 La Poza de Ballesteros. They harvested earlier in search of removing the ripeness and gaining in tension; but the aromatics of the 2023s are of ripe fruit, and this is no exceptionit's faintly balsamic too. But the palate is finer boned and has more elegance and freshness and comes through as finer boned. It has a little lower alcohol, 14. 4%.
