    Bodega y vinedos Artio El Majuelo del Abuelo Clarete de Guarda (Rosé) 2023 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Looks like a red. Semi-translucent garnet. Slightly inky with a hint of liquorice, a hint of pepper and black fruit aromas. It may look and smell like a red but on the palate, the soft invisible tannins points unmistakeably to a rosé. Extremely soft, supple, silky and voluptuous texture. Absolutely delicious, but bowing firmly in the direction of a delightful, supple, succulent chilled red with opulent alcohol and a warm fuzziness to the fruit. Lots of fruit, gentle extraction, invisible tannins. Silky, beautiful, Clarete that just slips down.
