Sunday, August 20, 2023 - I was on the oxidative-and-not-good-train for the first two days. I was thinking about oxidation, over-sulphurisation and wine-errors and had some other bottles in the meanwhile leaving the Palo Blanco half empty in the fridge. Surprisingly this began to show better and better on day three after another 30 Minutes in the caraffe. I admit, this wine is unique, very special and therefore polarising. Quince, bruised apple and pear, some sponti, white and black pepper, smoke and minerals. Slow legs, proper extract at only 11,5%. Very dry and ascetic on the palate, tight tannic structure, wine of unique character, long spicy, smoky and mineral finish. On day three (!), again, so be patient! What this wine definitely isn´t: fruity, shining, hedonistic, crystalline, creamy, elegant... :)
