I love this wine. So much ground pepper and chimney smoke on the nose. It’s like walking around on a rainy or snowy winter day and smelling the sweet perfume of your neighbors chimney. I almost totally dislike the white Listan Blanco Benje. I find that tired and lacking acidity and just tired. I prefer this wine to the more expensive Migan. Migan had more reduction and ethyl acetate on the nose and okay okay it’s more Pinot Noiresque but I don’t need a wine from the Canary Islands to be like a Pinot Noir. #listan #listannegro #canaryislands #spain — 4 years ago
Crunchy indeed. Sort of a sour grapes stemmy vibe. It’s cool and if I saw it on a wine list I would order it in a heartbeat. Especially cool for pairing with pickled peppery dishes. More bang for your buck than many Burgundy or Côte Rotie wines. #tenerife #listan #listannegro #canary — 4 years ago
I'm proud of Suerte de Marqués because they're making interesting #spanishwine and they're experimenting on their island of Tenerife and the results are mostly good and sometimes curious. #listan with whole cluster ferments. — 9 years ago
