Comando G 2020 Mataborricos 750ml

I found the unoaked 2020 Mataborricos to be the finest bottling to date of this characterful red, the darkest of them all, as it's not a pure Garnacha. In fact, there's less Garnacha this year, as they got together all the other varieties found in different vineyards (Listán Prieto, Morate, Vidadillo and even white varieties). A higher percentage of the wine matured in concrete instead of tinaja, and the concrete vats have tighter closures than the tinajas, so the wines end up being less oxidative. The wine is crunchier and more precise, cleaner even, and with more marked character. It keeps the path of the 2019 but with the help of a fresher year. It's only 12.8% alcohol, quite different from the other reds.
