Notes de dégustation: un millésime qui se situe entre le 2014 et le 2013 où l’influence atlantique s’est vue concurrencée par l’influence méditerranéenne. Au nez il y a des notes de griottes, de fruits à noyau (prunes et pruneaux), de fruits noirs et de myrtille. Cette complexité se retrouve en bouche avec une matière dense, des tanins bien fermes et une bonne structure. Un vin de charme et de vitalité avec beaucoup d’énergie. À consommer dans sa jeunesse.
VIN : DESCENDIENTES DE JOSÉ PETALOS DE BIERZO 2016 |
The 2014 Pétalos del Bierzo was already up for tasting as they sell the wine quite quickly even if the volumes are not small, but the wine had only been in bottle for one week and it might have been a little closed, especially when compared with the aromatic 2013. However, the aromas, if subtle, are phenomenal, very complete and balanced, with an extra degree of complexity when compared with the 2013. The harvest was a little healthier without being easy (or dry). There is great volume in the palate, fleshy, juicy and rich without being heavy, medium-bodied, somehow similar to the 2012 even if it still needs to develop further complexity. There’s always a subdued minerality, a texture and mouthfeel difficult to find in wines of this price level. This is approachable now, but it will be better in one year and should develop nicely in bottle. There are some 380,000 bottles of this wine, as they are limited by the space they have in the current winery. They will be able to grow when the new one is ready. Robert Parker.
