The Wine Advocate:

Tasted as a barrel sample, the village 2023 Corullón produced with a selection of 90 plots from the 200+ that they own in the village drove me crazy. It has a stony, quite Moncerbal-ish (according to Ricardo), serious, austere and a little reductive character, with a flinty and elegant reduction that I love. The vines have been worked organically and biodynamically since they started in 1999 and achieved organic certification in 2018. The vines are very balanced, and they have learned to manage the warm years much better than in the past (in 2017, they were a lot less ready than today). 2023 was still a warm year, even if the wines, like this Corullón, have a profile that makes you think of a classical year in Bierzo from 20 years ago. It makes me think of the 2001 that I've always liked very much, among my favorite years ever. The final blend has not yet been mastered, but they have more wine...

Decanter:

The palate offers sour cherry and redcurrant, with firm tannins for structure. Fruit is drawn from seven vineyards totalling 10.1ha and has up to 10% of white grapes in the blend. Tasted en primeur, Villa de Corullón is still a bit of an awkward teenager, presenting with some reduction on the nose, which Ricardo Pérez Palacios says will disappear with time. It’s definitely a wine to return to in due course.
