My first Spanish Pinot Noir & wine from Costers del Segre 🇪🇸 For €36 (£28 in 🇬🇧) recommended by @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca I have to say it’s a lovely easy drinking nicely balanced rich fruity drop drinking well young 👍 The fruitiness of a 🇺🇸 🇿🇦 🇨🇱 Pinot but the balance & lightness of a 🇫🇷 burgundy 😁
📍 Castell d'Encús - Acusp 2016
🏵 92 points & could improve as young
🍇 Pinot Noir
🍷 Clear Cherry Ruby w/ a purple tinted edge
👃 Smoky earthy blackberry & cherry w/ violet flowers, hedgerow, herbs, raspberry, light spice & a touch of oak
👄 Light-Med body of smooth ripe blackberry w/ a cherry & raspberry undertone into a mineral stone dry hint in med acidity
🎯 Med+ blackberry dominant fruit through earthy red cherry w/ a wild raspberry twang, hint of green stalk & touch of mineral dryness
👏 Spain is producing sone excellent wines at the moment without the ridiculous price tag 😍
