  • By the glass. Next interpretation of exclusivity by Pomal is this elaboration of less than three thousand single-varietal bottles of Tempranillo with an alcoholic content of 15%. On the nose it turns more towards a floral side (violets) than fruit one. Fully balsamic with notes of chocolate and liquorice. Low minerality except a strong clay sensation. Warm on the palate, structured, dense, concentrated, extracted, tannic. Far from expressing terroir with this international character. In my modest opinion, Bilbainas does not want to finish defining his line to follow. Just wants money from both worlds, traditional and modern. Well done.

    Por copas. La interpretación de la exclusividad por parte de Pomal es esta elaboración de menos de tres mil botellas monovarietales de Tempranillo con una graduación alcohólica de 15%. En nariz se vuelca más hacia lo floral (violetas) que hacía lo frutal. Plenamente balsámico con notas de chocolate y regaliz. Escasa mineralidad salvo una fuerte sensación arcillosa. Cálido al paladar, estructurado, denso, concentrado, extractado, tánico. Muy lejos de expresar terruño con este carácter internacional. En mi modesta opinión, Bilbainas no quiere terminar de definir su línea a seguir. Quiere el dinero de ambos mundos. tradicional y moderno. Hace bien.
