The 2021 Protos 27, featuring the company's inaugural label, is made with Tempranillo grapes sourced from Anguix, Roa, Quintamanvirgo and La Horra and spent 16 months aging in French oak barrels. Garnet-red in the glass. The aromatic profile features dried flowers, wild herbs and notes of strawberry yogurt supported by prominent woody undertones. The palate is dry and creamy with a taut, flowing profile due to the young tannins (I sampled it three months after bottling). This wine's velvety texture leaves a lasting impression.

Spiced plums, dark cherries and hints of vanilla and coffee on the nose. Medium to full body with plenty of dense, chewy tannins that need time to settle. Good length to close. Try in 2025.
