Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 13, 2021 - By the glass. Demanding bottle that requires patience on one hand and full enjoyment on the other. The nose is deliciously aromatic, with fruity and spicy notes. The palate needs to be rounded and show the characteristic fineness of this terroir that seems abandon this current closed texture that seems to need knife and fork and a tannic texture that hides its true potential. Matter of style.

Por copas. Una botella exigente que requiere por una parte paciencia y por otra pleno disfrute. En nariz es deliciosamente aromática, con notas frutales y especiadas. Al paladar necesita redondearse y mostrar la finura característica de este terruño y abandonar esta actual cerrada textura que parece necesitar de cuchillo y tenedor y una tanicidad que oculta su verdadero potencial. Cuestión de estilo.

Just a question of taste.
Cheers,

Cheers, HNY!
