Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Pago La Jara, pure Tinta de Toro from the lieu-dit that names the wine, fermented with indigenous yeasts in 3,000-liter oak vats and matured in 1,500-liter oak foudre and French barriques for 18 months. It's powerful and ripe at 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.81 and 4.57 grams of acidity. It's quite classical, and it has power, concentration and ripeness with balance and freshness and a certain elegance. It has fine-grained tannins, with a certain austerity. It should develop nicely in bottle. 4,032 bottles were filled in May 2022.

Description
Pago La Jara is an exceptional wine made by Telmo Rodríguez in the Toro region. This wine is known for its limited production and high quality, the result of a careful winemaking and ageing process.
Winemaking
The grapes come from five high quality plots, composed almost entirely of the Tinta de Toro variety with a small percentage of Albillo Mayor. The grapes, not completely destemmed, are fermented with indigenous yeasts in 3,000-kilo wooden vats. The wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in 225-litre oak barrels and 1,500-litre foudres.
Taste
Pago La Jara stands out for its harmonious and elegant taste, with fine and well-integrated tannins. Its freshness and moderate ripeness are complemented by a smoky and stony touch, thanks to the ageing in large volumes of oak. This combination allows the wine to retain its unique character, allowing it to breathe and develop a distinctive personality. On the palate, the wine offers good balance and harmony, with a structure that promises a positive and prolonged development in bottle.
