Tasting Notes

Vinous Joaquin Hidalgo - 21 Nov 23
The 2019 Canta La Perdiz is sourced from a 100-year-old parcel in La Aguilera, Ribera del Duero and was fermented as a field blend. Aged up to three years in well-used barrels, it appears light garnet in color. The nose unfolds mild blackberry, wild herbs, chamomile and garrigue-like aromas. Lean and dry, the taut and chalky palate is compact and fairly juicy. Its complex and subtly nuanced finish lingers.
