“From low-yielding vineyards in Castilla-La Mancha, the 2023 Protocolo Tinto spent only three months in barrel, made entirely from Tempranillo (or Tina del pais as it’s known in the region). It offers a leathery, dried-fruit character and appealing rusticity, the tannins quite supple. Medium-bodied, it’s built to be approachable upon release, finessed, fluid, and full of enduring freshness. Drink now.”
