Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 17, 2018 - Recommended by a valued retailer as something interesting, and why would one not want to try a carbonic macerated Listan Negro?

Fresh cracked red peppercorn, creosote, tar, and black fruits on the nose. Medium bodied, very savory and meaty, with more pepper, but with an interesting juxtaposition of this seemingly structured and meaty/wild notes with a suppleness and sap to its palate. It mid weighted at most, but seems broader. There is a breadth and round edges, with a softness and suppleness, when I was expecting something more stern and angular. It has a simultaneous sense of wildness yet cohesion. I like this contrast quite a bit. Wild blackberries, tar, dry rub barbecue, and more fresh cracked pepper on the long and very savory finish. This is my second ever Listen Negro still red wine, and both have had this Chambolle meets Pelaverga nature that I find very interesting. I really enjoyed this and will seek out more. A terrific wine for roasted bird, game, or just about any roasted/ grilled meat for that matter. Blackened fish would be terrific as well. Great value to boot. Drink now.
