Pack Valduero 2 Maderas 2018 (x3) con 2 Copas

Wet stone, flint and raspberry jam nose. Palate has lovely fruit concentration, with layers of spice and lifted herbal notes intermingling with mocha and liquorice on the finish. Beautifully complex and more to come.

The "two woods" that give this wine its name are French and American, 50% of them new barrels. The result is suitably oaky, with a palate that's both ferrous and chalky, and has impressive structure and acidity, lots of colour and intensity and a hint of balsam. The toasty notes need more time to integrate. 2022-27.
