Thursday, December 22, 2022 - Tasted double blind. My first Pepe and it exceeded all my expectations. No disturbing funk, this is a stunning wine, with stunning complexity and precision and an impeccable structure. Wow. 95/96 pts.
TN: Intense, expressive volcanic soil, green vegetal aromas, lots of minerality and with time more and more brighter red berries and an intriguing dominant floral aromatic which lead to a superb aromatic balance. So well crafted with the finest tannins, roundest acidity, superb freshness, good length wonderful light, satin-like texture.
Decanting: Decanted for 4 hours and improved massively in the glass. An even longer decanting might be best.
