In his Ribera Del Duero 2022 Special Report, Tim Atkin MW tasted his way through 578 wines from 160 producers and chose the 2020 Mirum as his top wine of the year, awarding it with 98 points. That rates it as high as Pingus & Unico at a fraction of the price.
No small feat for this estate which is rocketing into the echelons of Spanish wine. "[I congratulate] the great work that is being done in the vineyards and wineries] and the increase in the sensuality of the wines now more elegant fresh and harmonious thanks to a trend of soft infusions - as seen at Bodegas Valdaya - and the differentiation of terroirs of the different localities."
"Great sites make great wines in the right hands. Las Piedras, an isolated, 80-year-old, limestone-based vineyard at 925 metres in cooler climate Baños de Valdearados, supplies the fruit for this world-class Tinto Fino from one of Ribera del Duero's most exciting producers. Intensely perfumed, with thyme and fennel scents, filigree tannins, crunchy plum and black cherry flavours and refined 25% new oak. Simply delicious from Marta Ramas and Miguel Fisac. 2024-35"
