Clos Lentiscus Perill Noir Carinyena 2017
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainFrom old Carignan vines planted by Manel’s grandfather in the 1930s, this spent 25 days on skins in a mix of barrel, amphora, and foudre while fermenting native, prior to resting 18-24 months in the same vessels prior to bottling, without sulphur. Opening with a swing of reduction, this then moves into tart cherry, early raspberry, balsamic, and rhubarb, along a raw, lightly furry palate. Acidity is tart, and tannins are nubby along the sides, taking this to a snappy crimson finish. Very raw and natural look at carignan.Tasted: 16 January 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $46.00 | 750ml | consignment |
