Reviewed September 2024El Tamboril speaks with its uniqueness, and there is often something saucy, gamey and hot stone-like on the nose. In fact, the red El Tamboril often shows the deepest color among the Comando G wines. It reminds me of a fine Barolo in many ways. It’s racy with dark minerals, mussel shells, citrus and red and black berries. The palate is vertical and structured, and the tannins are well polished. There is a lot to like about this wine. If you think Comando G’s wines are too delicate, this might be the one to try. (ZS)

97+ points. The nose and palate of the 2022 El Tamboril Tinto are really tight; it's a wine that needs more time (they reckon the 2016 is the one drinking well in 2024). It has a lot of energy and still has some creaminess and spiciness (from the élevage?). It has tons of fine tannins, giving it a powdery, dry texture. It fermented in concrete and oak, trying not to extract, fermenting with some juice without skins, a super infusion with even less extraction than the others as it has natural power. (LG)
