The 2023 Gracia has a well-defined bouquet with lifted brambly red fruit, perhaps lacking a bit of complexity and vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with a strange metallic note on the entry that masks the fruit underneath. Drying tannins mark the finish. I have enjoyed some vintages of Gracia in the past, but this feels discombobulated by the season.
