LA BIENQUERIDA, VINO DE PARAJE 2021
95 pts
#52 Top 100 Spain Wine
Fresh and nervy nose with a good depth of dark cherries, mulberries, violets, grilled herbs and slate, with white pepper characters. Some wet earth, too. Very juicy and mouthwatering on the medium-bodied palate with deliciously sappy black cherries and blueberries that extend to a long but pristine finish. Drink or hold.
