Comando G La Bruja 2023

Same as always - and that's the highest compliment. La Bruja has long moved beyond tasting notes into pure reliability. That seductive nose of red fruit compote, earth, red flowers, herbs, and mushrooms. Silky on the palate, delicate but stony, with a minerality that keeps it grounded. One of those rare wines that's both serious enough to respect and friendly enough to demolish without thinking twice.

Riverside party demanded proper bottles, and La Bruja never lets me down. This is one of those wines that's moved beyond tasting notes into pure reliability - I know exactly what I'm getting, and what I'm getting is brilliant. One of those rare bottles that's both serious enough to respect and friendly enough to demolish without thinking twice.

As always, this is just a lovely wine. Consistently solid, expressive, and joyful to drink. I'm especially glad to see how well it resonated with everyone during the blind tasting.

Same notes. Gorgeous wine.

This wine is my pleasure and I don't feel any guilty about it. Its remarkable nature is captivating, with a charming and seductive nose featuring red fruits, earthy tones, red flowers, herbs, and mushrooms. On the palate, it offers a silky texture; when tannins begin to make their presence known, they are beautifully balanced by the vibrant fruit and minerality. Despite its delicacy, it retains a distinctly stony character, highlighting its minerality. Delicate, quaffable, and utterly enjoyable, it's a wine that invites you to savor every sip.

After tasting this new release from my stash, I've realized it deserves to be savored often. It leaves me torn between wanting to share this gem with others and keeping it for myself to enjoy its beauty repeatedly. Its character remains consistent, offering those same captivating notes as before, which continue to delight with each sip.

La Bruja has undergone a significant evolution since 2018, transitioning from a village wine from Rozas de Puerto Real to a regional wine from Cebreros. This change seems to have infused it with new charm. While it may be less austere and serious on the palate, it's now more delicate, subtle, open, and notably juicier and fruitier.

The nose is seductive, featuring red fruit compote, earth, red flowers, herbs, and hints of mushrooms. Its palate is silky, delicate, and juicy, with a stony, fruity character that's utterly quaffable. The wine is seamlessly structured, with a medium-light body and delicate tannins. Overall, it's ripe and ready to be enjoyed today.
