2022 Quevedo
Posted: 18:44 Thu 05 Sep 2024
Subdued smells of ripe fruit with a slight smoky overtone shine from the glass. Smooth on the palate, with the fruit not sweet and slightly bitter but shining brightly; dominated by the blackcurrant yet with the acidity supporting the wine rather than dominating it. There are tannins in play, but they are sub-servient to the acidity and fruit. Dry edged bramble and blackberry fruit on the aftertaste, moving nicely to merge with the tannins to deliver a very long black liquorice finish. Rather good. Day 4. 89-91/100. Tasted 23-Aug-2024.
