4/29/2024 - sid_loves_wine Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery delicious and fresh; yet I'm rating it a point lower than the last vintage I tasted (2018) as this was a bit more natty/funky, vibrant but less focused, compared to the super fresh and precise (but also clean and dialed-in) 2018. This 2020 showed lots of slightly funky strawberry, raspberry etc with a bit of salty umami and beautiful, gentle tannins. I like that the high acid is pretty well-integrated, not too puckery, but the fermentation is a little wild, giving it a faint kombucha character. My first instinct when blind tasting was some very natty Pinot Noir, and I couldn't figure out the region whatsoever. |

4/27/2024 - andrewfowler Likes this wine: 88 pointsDelicate lemon and fresh baguette on the nose, and the palate balances tree fruit (green apple aplenty) with citrus, maybe some very light florals and watermelon. The finish has some kind of funky flavor to it, can’t quite put my finger on it, and a slight pecorino cheese note emerges on the nose over time, along with acetone. I’m not sure whether I’d call these “off notes,” but they’re definitely iffy for some, although I enjoyed. That being said, the acidity is pronounced and quite pleasant and fruity, it’s the acidity of crispy green apples. This would go so well with a croque-monsieur. |

4/20/2024 - Takao wrote: 90 pointsDeep ruby color. Med plus aromas of black cherry, red plum, black berry, blueberry, cedar, toast, violet, leather, some VA, and a bit of orange peel and coffee. Really good balance of fruits, floral notes and earthiness. Fruits are just ripe. Though color is young there’s some tertiary notes. Dry, med plus body, high acid, grainy, med(+) tannins, long finish. Good now but think it has a space for improvement over time. Thought a darker Pinot but this is Bierzo Tinto. Maybe grainy, slightly stalky tannin quality is the key - not really common for PN, but this might be just the producer’s style due to high whole cluster percentage. This got less interesting over time in a glass losing fresh fruits and gaining stemmy spiciness. There is a bit of bitterness on the palate probably from the stem. Fantastic value. 90+ |

4/19/2024 - 2caveman Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis second tasting in a mere 3 weeks illustrates the mystery of wine. What I first experienced as a good but unexceptional wine became a quite exhilarating tasting experience. On the nose and palate emerged most unusual and primal aromas and flavors. No idea what lanolin smells and tastes like but somehow that fits the bill. Loved this bottle and agree it has potential for major longevity. Will order more and track over coming decade |

4/7/2024 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 91 pointsNo formal notes taken. Part of an "off the beaten track of Spain" wine night with my group. This was my favorite, but it may have been because this wine was the closest to wines that I am familiar with. The others were oddball grapes from less than mainstream growing areas. |

4/2/2024 - DH90 Likes this wine: 89 pointsMedium yellow-gold color. Aromas of green apples and lemon peel. Moderate acidity that made this a great wine to accompany appetizers. It was less aromatic and floral overall than the last time that I tried it. Still it was a crowd pleaser. |

3/30/2024 - Nanda wrote: 92 pointsFirst go with this wine. Evokes a Chablis and dry Riesling vibe with unique aromas/flavors of passion fruit and guava with plenty of minerality and acid cut. Gains weight and concentration over several hours. I suspect this will age well given the stuffing, balance and 12.5 ABV. Promising first experience. |

3/28/2024 - thebiggestlie Likes this wine: NRThis one really needed to open up. Decant. Grapefruit, exotic fruits, toasted almonds, earthy minerals. Not oaky like a Rioja, but still a nice touch. A good quality wine, although not entirely to my personal taste |

3/25/2024 - CasperE Likes this wine: 93 pointsI am getting more and more exited by the mencia grape. This example is truly great. Herbal notes of thyme, olives, flowers, Red berries, lively acidity, very good balance and a lasting finish. It will probably be better with 3-5 years, but it is a banger right now. |

3/9/2024 - Aris1a wrote: 93 pointsIt sure what the deal is with the drinking window on CT is - this wine is holding g up just fine. A full bodied white, with pronounced notes of citrus, bergamot, dandelion greens, thyme, and a slight touch of white pepper. Not your run of the mill Albariño. Good stuff and can probably be aged further. |
