96 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The bottled village red 2022 Corullón was produced with grapes from around 90 different plots and had a short élevage of eight months in barrel. It is 93% Mencía, 4% Jerez (Palomino), 2.5% Alicante Bouschet and 0.5% Gran Negro bottled at 13.5% alcohol. It's floral and aromatic, but compared with the more-austere 2023, it comes through as more generous, riper and a little gentler, with more fruit but with elegance and freshness that nobody expected during the torrid summer and harvest. It keeps the freshness and poise, with fine-grained tannins.
 
94 Points James Suckling
A difficult vintage has delivered more tannins to the wine, but it is nevertheless fresh and nervy, with grilled grapefruit, white pepper and hibiscus. Structured in terms of the firmness and the quantity of the tannins. It’s very different from the 2021 vintage, which shows nimbleness and agility. Vertical but still quite bright.
 
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of fresh red and black fruit mingle with gloriously fragrant and lifted notes of garden thyme, wild mint and sage. The palate is just so elegant, with a lovely fruit weight yet a focused line of slate. The cranberry fruit feels somehow concentrated yet delicate simultaneously with a blueberry lift, vibrant purity, and fresh red apple. Carefully crafted, grainy tannins resolve seamlessly on the slightly savoury yet still juicy finish. This really is a delicious Corullón.
