This is really lovely, and enjoyed it at Compartir in Barcelona with the latter part of the meal (i.e. more meat, less fish) This was a sommelier suggestion: he tells us he has an excellent Pinot Noir from Catalunya, (from DOP Costres del Segre) in the hills northwest of Barcelona. I was a little sceptical since Catalunya is not really known for its PN - at least not for me! Turns out he was right! Fermented in stainless and Malo in oak barrels. I'm not sure how old, but I would guess 2nd or 3rd use as the oak influence was subdued. Lot of cherries and spices here, it's drinking well now. Apparently this is s project of Rene Bobet, of Priorat’s Ferrar Bobet.

Fun, funky nose. Rose petal and concrete nose? Palate kinda follows nose. Very interesting wine. Not a crowd pleaser but a very well made wine If you're looking to try something fun and interesting.
