Community Tasting Note

viniferatu Likes this wine:

Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - Bright color, purple and magenta. Smokey and dusty, quite reductive at first, but it opens up. Struck match, sea muck, vegetable ash, red plum, blood orange, rosehips and white pepper. Juicy on the palate, pure fruit roars through the earthy ruckus. Medium-bodied, with bright acids and a low level of rather coarse tannins. Amazing finish, it positively bristles with notions of rocks and plants, but tart fruit keeps right up. This is cool stuff. Definitely the best Listan Prieto (aka Mission, Pais) I've ever tasted. Also the best Canary Islands wine I can remember. Dunno if I would save this, as I'm not sure reduction like this resolves well in the bottle with red wines, and this is so much fun right now. Who knows though. I would, in any case, do a hard decant next time, or drink it over two or three days.
