June 3, 2023 - Ruby. Red cherry. Raspberries. Strawberries. Mineral. Lovely. Fresh. Great texture and fine boned structure. Brilliant fresh acid core. Some woody notes. Medium body. Complex, long and super interesting. Excellent!!

May 7, 2023 - Slightly peppery, elevated acidity with sour red berries, lots of minerality where you can find both briny sea spray, smoke and darker rocks (lots of people will probably find “volcanic minerality” here, but for me this is just storytelling). Not particularly reductive or funky, this doesn’t scream natural wine at all. It feels very qualitative (not saying there’s a dichotomy between natural and quality, on the contrary). It’s lighter than I thought it would be, since Margalagua is a light cuvée I somehow imagined (perhaps also due to some of the comments here) this should be an inkier meat wine, but it’s not, at least no to me. To me this plays more in the ballpark of a Morgon or something like that (not counting those 14-15% Morgons from hot years, this is by far a superior wine to those), a wine that will be great with a platter of cold-cuts or just by itself.

December 30, 2022 - Great nose of wild berries, white pepper, dried herbs, iron, seasalt and some smoke. Pretty much in line with last bottle about two years ago. The palate is very bright and austere, a bit thin on the mid palate and forward. Good structure and solid acidity. This wine have developed much faster than I unticipated and was for me in a better place two years ago. Still, a unique expression of terroir, just a bit faded this time.

September 18, 2020 - Have opened up beautifully since last tasting. Nose is generous and the palate feels in perfect balance at the moment. Bright iron and a sense of sea and salt. Thought this would age slower but was pleasantly surprised, will probably open again in the next 2-3 years.

September 20, 2019 - Phenomenal wine. Intriguing, complex, and adventurously balanced; a shimmering hard candy.
