Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles 2016

Tasting Notes

Made from centenarian vines in Porrera, planted on slate soils. Careful harvest and winemaking, with grain selection. Fermented in large oak vats, then aged in French oak and bottle. Restrained on the nose, opening up slowly to elegant blackcurrant fruit and spice. The wine is tightly structured, but suavely textured, very long and delicious. A benchmark for old-vine wine: power and finesse in lovely balance. Drinking window: 2020-2030. (Pedro Ballesteros Torres, MW,decanter.com,March 21, 2020)
