Pico del Mirlo 2018

Dried herbs, stems and some white pepper and agave to the wild strawberries and dried flowers. Dry and almost chalky, with a medium body that is coated with firm tannins. There’s a saline-mineral “sharpness” to the structure and the finish of this. Drink now.

I also retasted the 2018 Pico del Mirlo Garnacha, which shows much better than the previous time I encountered it. It's ripe and heady at 15.5% and produced in a lush and round style, with some detached acidity. 3,500 bottles produced.
