Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. Although this is Godello from Bierzo, this was meant to be a fun counter example to Sketch which is arguably a bit unique when it comes to Raul Pérez’s typical style. The 2020 “La Claudina” pours a deeper straw color with notes of lemons, grapefruit, Brazil nuts, hazel nuts (yeah, it’s definitely more in the oxidative style) and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline with a slightly sherried, creamy texture. Charming stuff and definitely something I would like to track over time. Enjoy now through 2035. — 6 months ago

Rustic, earthy, succulent but never clumsy or overbearing. This has soul and that distinct “nourishing” character one finds in the great traditional wines of the world. Muddled cherry, wet leaves, damp forest, ceps, juniper, witch hazel, wilted flowers, beets, warm spice. — 4 years ago

Drinks like a Pinot, but goes nicely with cassoulet and steak frites. Hazel approved! — a year ago
