Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jun 21
Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Powerful red and blue fruit, incense, exotic spice and licorice aromas on the expressive nose; a smoky mineral flourish adds urgency. Densely packed boysenberry, cherry cola and spicecake flavors show outstanding definition and pick up a hint of star anise on the back half. Broad and seamless in character, finishing with impressive energy and smooth, even tannins that add framework and subtle grip.

Perez explains: ‘In 2005 (after working for the family business) I bought this plot. Looking back, I should never have bought this plot because my idea of winemaking is quite different now. I used to make wines with lots of oak and alcohol, the Spanish norm.’ The 1.5 ha vineyard usually yields 3,500 kg of fruit but only 800–1,000 kg in 2017.Paler than the St Jacques. Mid crimson. Sweet and fragrant. Light and fragrant. Damson juice! Transparent and quite a bit of acidity. Round and bloody. (JR)
