Vintage 2019 | colour with purple rim, half transparant, a bit medicinal spicyness, raspberries!, rounded taste with a silky taste, even after pop and pour - so this silkyness will be even more tomorrow, I am sure. Nice wine from 100% negrette. I ordered it from France, because I cannot buy it here in Holland. @Daniel M 😉 Paired with Black Angus ribeye and parsnip frites. Fine pairing. — a year ago

The last and probably the best bottle from a lot of four purchased from our local importer. There was quite a bit of bottle variation in our Malaysian importer’s 19’ Envinate release - the Migan’s and Palo Blanco’s were quite the rollercoaster ride - but the Vinas de Aldea seemed to have gotten the good side of the container. Like the last bottle, this was full of floral elegance and tangy energy. Super complex aromas of violets, ripe cherries, sweet herbs, pepper, and a touch of coffee and flint. All finesse on the palate, but has depth too. Sweet red fruits, bittersweet herbs, umeshu, and an absolutely lovely, Mosel-esque slatey minerality; finishing sharp with grippy, chalky tannins. For me it was firmly in that red kabinett territory, and downright perfect with our fatty Angus picanha. Loved it! — 6 months ago
