This is another excellent value from Bierzo. Very minerally and clingy, with the sometimes rough tannins of Bierzo under control. I like that there's no overtly noticeable oak.Very dark ruby/violet. Gorgeously pure scents of violets and perfectly ripe blackberry juice poured over a pile of powdery crushed stone . . . with a note of dried citrus peel. Very concentrated flavors fill the mouth, but it's not heavy or jammy. Iodine, lightly scorched gravel, and blackberry skins. Loads of soft tannin provide nice texture. Full bodied. Long, clingy, chewy finish. B+. Imported by Classic Wines, Stamford, CT, this wine was a remarkable $10.99 from WTSO.com. Get some.
