The texture is really creamy and "Pinot" with fleshy, open, crushed red fruit notes, and a lovely, spicy, anise and lavender scented finish which is as fresh as a button. Wonderfully delicious stuff!
Red cherry colour with violet tones. Aromas of red fruits, blackberries and raspberries with lively notes of cocoa and minerals. On the palate, fresh and tasty, very smooth and harmonious, long and fruity aftertaste.
''This is such a beautiful red with dark berry, stone and limestone character. Medium body, focused and refined. Very long finish. A standard bearer for the region.'' 92 Points, James Suckling
'' Lifted cherry and spice aromatics. Supple and slight meaty with some herby hints. Tangy, saline, grippy and fresh with lovely pretty floral fruit. Nice definition.'' 94 Points, Jamie Goode, The Wine Anorak
''Floral, with notes reminiscent of violets, earth and spices. Its juicy with a soft, approachable texture, very nice balance and freshness and a tasty finish.'' 91 Points, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate Magazine
This is from old vines on the slopes of the Valdeorras mountains. Released in only the best years. This is Valdesil's Top Red; beautiful aromas of ripe red fruit. Elegant, intense, with impressive length of flavour.
The rocky soils, high altitude and cooling Atlantic weather patterns here sculpt juicy, racy, tangy, cherry scented, light to medium bodied reds - and that's exactly what we have here.
