96% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) & 4% Albillo
TASTING NOTES
Lively red and blue fruit, violet and allspice aromas; a smoky mineral quality builds with aeration. Sweet and seamless in texture, offering juicy, spice-accented black raspberry, blueberry and licorice flavors that deepen on the back half. Shows fine clarity and repeating florality on a long, spicy finish that's given shape by smooth, even tannins. -Winemaker's Notes
91pts - Wine Advocate
"The creamy, juicy and hedonistic 2022 Antídoto is ripe, reflecting the warm year, with 14.7% alcohol but with a polished palate and fine tannins that make it very approachable and easy to understand. It has notes of ripe berries and licorice and a spicy and smoky twist with a lactic touch. It's tasty, clean and long. It matured in 600-liter barrels, 25% of them new, for eight months. 168,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023."

"The 2022 Antídoto is a Tempranillo from old vines in Soria, Ribera del Duero, and spent up to eight months in 600-liter oak barrels. Garnet in the glass with a purple sheen. The slightly reductive aromas feature blood, blackberry, violet and black cherry notes. The palate is dry and intense, with a reasonably structured profile softened by fine, velvety tannins and a juicy finish. This is a remarkable Soria red that leaves a lasting impression."
