Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 14, 2013 - A final, belated bottle of the No.22 - paired with some excellent tapas in Binomio, this excelled in its natural environment. Of all the bottles I have had, this was probably the most integrated. It showed a lovely nose, with gentle wafts of seabreeze and slatey mineral along with lovely dired fruit notes - figs and kumquats, lemon zest and brown pears - and then some nutty accents, and a tiny hint potpourri flowers. Very nice indeed. The palate was lovely too. Fresh, juicy, very lithe and lightfooted, with deliciously mouthfilling flavours of figs and kumquats riding on a gentle, but wonderfully persistent layer of savoury nutty tones and saline, chalky, stony mineral pulling away into a beguiling, palate-gripping finish that just refused to quit. There was tons of layered depth and even power on this, yet it was so effortless and super-well integrated that all you noticed was the purity, grace and complexity on the wine. Wow. Brilliant pairing with tapas too. I probably have had more impressive, greater bottlings from Equipo Navazos, but boy, this must be one of the most appealing, food-friendly ones of all.
