Comando G Rozas 1er Cru 2023
95 pts Wine Advocate
Drink Date: 2025 - 2035
The 2023 Rozas 1er is a selection from three vineyards in the village of Rozas de Puerto Real, the only wine from there, as the village wine has been discontinued. There's been a confusion over the years between the village wine and the 1er from Rozas, so it should be clear from here on. It comes from the south valley of Gredos, a place where they feel the wines need a little more alcohol to achieve balance, and this comes in at 14.5%. This is pure iron, with notes of blood, red fruit and some silty sensations with hints of talcum powder when the wine is in contact with the air in the glass. It has some meaty undertones, moving in the direction of Las Iruelas, with a narrow mouthfeel and an herbal character. This wine and all the 1er bottlings spend two winters before they are bottled. It started a little closed and bloomed with time in the glass. This is superb. 3,913 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025.
(Now 2 vineyards only) Rozas Village comes from 5 vineyard plots of Garnacha located in a narrow valley formed by the seasonal Arroyo Mingogil at the foot of Cerro de los Corzos. Situated close to the Grand Cru Las Umbrias parcel and the source for Mingogil 1er Cru, this corner of Rozas de Puerto Real shares a variation on the theme of lithe and winsome mountain Garnacha, with bright forward red fruit enlivened with minerality and scent of mountain herbs.
