What a surprise is to taste this. In perfect conditions and so delicious. Smells like a cellar in Langa.no sign of decaying. Fruit still very present. It is perfect right now.

First introduction of La Castellada, me likey! Perfect for lunch on a snowy day with spaghetti bolognese. Old school charm, super bright acidity balancing the dark fruit.

Definitely has an old world feel, both on the nose and on the palate. Benefitted from 45 min. of breathing time, which helped clear up some funk in the aromatics.

This merlot blend is lovely. Very balanced, fruit forward. Has at least another 10 years of shelf life, but also drinking well now.

Lavorato, macerato, profumato, vino naturale e biologico, aromi di frutti di bosco, amaranto, di grande bevuta.
