Still going strong. Light colour, less fruit and flesh than two years ago but the salty minerality is even more pronounced and impressive. Rare and interesting.
An exemplary Blaufränkisch, peppery and fresh, ripe red cherries and violets, lovely minerality and precision, silky texture, pure and elegant, gently grippy tannins, harmonious fresh acidity, very good length. Young but already delightful, good future. Drink now - 2024.
An interesting blend of 10% Miel de Maguey (the unfermented syrup of roast agave) and 90% Mezcal from San Luis del Rio (Oaxaca), double distilled from 100% Agave Espadin. A first for me and I must say I like it very much. The Mezcal is of excellent quality, wonderfully pure and aromatic, and the Miel rounds it off beautifully and even seems to add to the smokiness. Dangerously delicious!

Lovely wine, discreet but harmonious style, slightly fresher than the bottle tasted last year.
