Community Tasting Notes 3

  April 9, 2024 - In a few words, nervy and acidic, but not without charm. Drank over 3 nights to track its evolution because this was difficult to enjoy on day 1, even for my acidophilic palate. The nose is quite lovely and very complex, showing floral, red berry, and mineral notes. Reminds me of a hypothetical cross between a Northern Rhone syrah and beaujolais, and the closest comparison I can think of is Hervé Souhaut's Souteronne (gamay grown in the rhone). Bracing acidity overrides whatever fruit may be there, but with LOTS of air, this achieves a bit more balance. I love the rustic character of this wine, which clearly speaks of its place (like Forjas del Salnes wines from the same region). Distinctive, laden with river rock, tobacco leaf, peppercorn, and a bit of sweet-tart candy notes. I enjoyed the complexity here, but don't drink on an empty stomach, and best to hold 5+ years.

  May 20, 2023 - At a tasting so only a brief note, good wine but v young & sharp acidity, only 11.5%, needs a decant or more cellar time
