Complex nose of red berries

sliced plum and crushed sage

the aromatics are a bit muted

yet still dangerously drinkable

2022 | Fento O Estranxeiro | Ribeira Sacra Les Vins Perrachon Complex nose of red berriesThe 2022 O Estranxeiro fermented in concrete and oak vats. They gave up the stainless steel, where they feel Menca gets more reductive, and this matured in oak and concrete for seven months. It has notes of wild berries, herbs and flowers, with a spicy twist. It has 13% alcohol, a juicy texture, round tannins and moderate acidity. They keep buying and renting vineyards and advancing slowly in the project. 92 Pts Robert Parker The Wine Advocate
