The red 2022 Lalama has a primary nose of bright berry fruit, leaves and a touch of honey and beeswax, with a sleek palate and a soft mouthfeel that makes it moreish and very easy to drink. In the warm 2022 vintage, it achieved higher ripeness, 13.6% alcohol, with a pH of 3.6 and five grams of acidity. It's round and has polished tannins. 77,750 bottles and 540 magnums produced. It was bottled in August 2024 after 17 months in oak containers of different sizes, but the oak is very integrated. - Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 7/25
