  During a Walkabout tasting of Denz wines, only brief impressions. Not much nose here, the palate is correct, good balance.

  8/28/2022 - WojteG Does not like this wine: 85 Points

  After drinking the leftover wine from the night before, I knew I had to take a break, have a glass of water and talk to my wife about my friends' party tomorrow, and I was fine. It's very good that I took a break because I have problem with this wine and I can't blame anything on previous one glass from Tinazzi.
  My problem is that I don't know how to describe this wine. This juice has no backbone, no structure, no leaders both smell and taste. I won't say I don't like it, but it makes me fool.
  What I found out, that this wine is highly rated, but the same time all pro reviews are very enigmatic, it means there is something about nothing. What's more even the owners don't know how to describe this wine. Look at this
  https://www.wine.com/product/artadi-valdegines-2018/711630
  And you will find something like this there:
  Angular shapes
  Denote power
  Cautious speech
  
  😱
  
  Mamma Mia - someone drunk too much Artadi
  I spent a lot of money on this wine and now it's even more expensive. In course of one month it went from46.05 € to 51.02
  😱
  
  🕣🕧⏰
  After 2 days break I drunk the rest of the bottle.
  Unfortunately the wine is even worse than last Saturday. There are some bitter notes from the beginning to the end and it's one big mess with taste. Very sour, unpleasant, no way I can't finish it.
  🍷 to the sink 😱
  I gave it 85 points only because I spent so much money on it and I feel sorry for myself
  😳

  Deals portfolio tasting (Deals HQ): 24-28 hour cryomaceration, 12 days pigeage, 4 tn tank, single plot, 1 hr decant, tasted in Riedel Cabernet Sauvignon
  The wine is very fresh, ultra ripe juicy, red fruit, berries, cherries, smoky, currant, plums, sweet oak notes, licorice, sweet spices, warmth, creme de cassis, depth, vanilla, layered
  In the palate, the wine shows the same flavour profile, alcohol heat, tight tannins, austere, mineral, acetaldehyde notes, very different from Rioja, udnerripe fruit notes, med body, med finish
  Years before its drinking age
  -/-
  Tasted in Riedel Syrah glass, the fruit is better, more smoky, the tannins are rounder, it feels hotter too

  Sheer beauty in a bottle, this young Valdegines. Shimmering cassis, translucent in appearance. Nose shines with cassis, blueberries, blackberries, herbs, spice. Palate is medium+-bodied, simple elegant from start to finish, ample acidity, velvet tannic structure, excellent concentration in terms of fruit - flavours as per nose, fruit-driven and very fresh, true craftsmanship, v pleasant, dry and spicy finish. At the age of three…wow!
