The 2020 Alabaster was produced with Tinta de Toro grapes from 11.5 hectares of ancient ungrafted vines that yielded 1,000 liters per hectare in 2020. The grapes were hand-destemmed and fermented in open tanks for 19 days, followed by malolactic in bottle and 18 months in new French oak barrels. It has 14.99% alcohol and a pH of 3.56. 2020 is a very approachable vintage, a year with finesse, elegance and balance, and this Alabaster is perfumed and floral and feels light on its feet despite the power, concentration and clout. It has a beautiful nose and the new oak is not overpowering despite being noticeable. It should develop nicely and for a very long time in bottle. It has great balance and is one of the finest vintages of Alabaster if not the best... 5,900 bottles were filled in May 2022. End of January 2023, The Wine Advocate
2019 > 96 puntos
They got even lower yields in 2019 than in 2018, and the centenary vines used for the 2019 Alabaster produced only 11.2 hectoliters per hectare. This wine was produced with hand-destemmed grapes that fermented for 23 days at 26 degrees Celsius and matured in brand-new French oak barrels, including malolactic, for 18 months. This is quite nuanced and harmonious, and the oak feels very integrated already. It must be the quality of the fruit that year that was able to absorb the oak so early on. In fact, it's a very showy, aromatic, floral and open, elegant and harmonious wine. It's nuanced and complex, with lots of elegance, among the finest vintages for this bottling. It's both powerful and elegant, floral and nuanced. This feels very approachable already but should also be long lived in bottle. 4,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021.

2018 > 95 puntos
I also tasted the 2018 and 2019 of the Alabaster side by side. The 2018 Alabaster was selected from ancient ungrafted vines, 11.5 hectares in Valdemediano, La Jara and Marinacea vineyards in Toro that yielded 12 hectoliters per hectare, something extremely low. The grapes were hand destemmed and fermented in open-top tanks with their own strain of yeasts. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and 18 months of aging in 100% new French oak barrels. It feels like a very classical vintage, a little more tannic and with some edges that feel more polished in the 2019—even the oak feels a little more noticeable here. 4,000 bottles were filled in July 2020. (Issue 255 End of June 2021, The Wine Advocate)
2017 > 95 puntos
I tasted the 2017 Alabaster next to the 2016, two wines from the same plots and same vinification and aging in very different years. This 2017 is not heady and ripe, as would correspond with a warm, dry and very early harvest. It should also be understandably oaky after 18 months in brand-new French oak barrels. Surprisingly enough, it's terribly aromatic, expressive and floral, jumping out of the glass, with an extrovert personality, with a lactic touch and some notes of licorice, with better-integrated oak and more freshness than the 2016. The oak is less evident (they have changed the toast of the barrels, but they still use 100% new oak) and more integrated. This is still a modern and generously oaked Tempranillo, but in the overall context, it's the least oaky of all their wines I tasted this time. 4,000 bottles.
