"Enjoy without moderation!"

The very young 2021 Bozeto red from Exopto [...] seems very balanced, with good maturity (14.5%), showing the Garnacha and Graciano at their most austere with beautiful fruit and freshness. It is very successful and has a complexity and depth that exceed its price. It was aged in a combination of concrete and oak containers for about six months. An excellent deal in one of the best vintages for this wine." (Wine Advocate 2022)

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About wine:

The very young 2021 Bozeto red from Exopto blends Tempranillo from Ábalos and Mediterranean Garnacha from Alfaro (with 10% Graciano), and it seems very balanced, with good maturity (14.5%), showing the Garnacha and Graciano at their most austere with beautiful fruit and freshness. It is very successful and has a complexity and depth that exceed its price. It was aged in a combination of concrete and oak containers for about six months. An excellent deal in one of the best vintages for this wine. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022.

About wine:

Spicy nose with notes of black beans, cherry compote, and roasted Mediterranean herbs and spices. Full-bodied and supple, with a lovely cherry pie aroma on the palate, rounded out by fresh, juicy tannins. There isn't immense depth here, but it is vibrant and lively. A blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo, and Graciano. Drink now.
