(1/18/24) The 2021 Ponce has a moderate 12.5% alcohol, lower than the 2022 that I also tasted next to it, which references a cooler year in which he decided to age the wine in 600-liter oak barrels, which allowed him to include smaller lots into the final blend. It feels very young and lively, a wine that is going to age nicely in bottle. It has an expressive nose combining floral, berry and herbal notes, but somehow it lacks the ethereal quality of the 2022 that I tasted next to it. 3,800 bottles were filled in September 2022. Drink Date: 2024 - 2034.
