97+ Matthew Luczy - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Fermented in open-top barrels due to the minuscule qualities, the 2025 Sin Azufre Treinta y Dos offers a fascinating comparison with the core Treinta y Dos bottling, beginning with a slightly brighter, more energetic aromatic profile that slowly unfurls into a harmonious mix of spice, floral and citrus aromas rendered with vivid clarity. The mouthfeel continues with the crystalline purity that defines Chacra's work, attaining an enviable degree of transparency and vibrancy, not to mention depth of flavor and texture that is very impressive for a wine with 12% alcohol. It culminates in a racy, lifted, long and layered finish that steadily generates ever greater depth of flavor and length, making for one of the more dynamic offerings I've tasted from Chacra. A mere 600 bottles of this cuvée were produced, and it enjoys limited distribution; so, while finding an example may prove quite difficult, it is a singular expression of the estate and could prove to equal or perhaps best the superb standard bottling in time.
