94 points Tim Atkin
The result of a meticulous selection of vineyards that uncovered three ancient Tempranillo vineyards in Laguardia. Each plot is vinified separately to highlight its uniqueness, and then blended into a single elegant and well-structured wine. UKAN is a complex, full-bodied and very pleasant to drink wine, with great ageing potential, displaying exceptional fruit purity and refreshing chalky minerality.
Tim Atkin:
“I look for aging potential,” says Koldo Eguren of this fragrant, well-structured Tempranillo from two parcels in Laguardia, Valderromán and El Estado, planted in 1945 and 1966, respectively. Aged in one third new wood, it’s a focused, layered style with classic aromas of rose petals and violets, chalky intensity, plum and blueberry fruit, and sinewy tannins. 2024-32.
