La Vizcaina 2021 La Polousa (Raul Perez) Biero Red
"As I have noted in the past, Raúl Pérez's and César Márquez's La Poulosa bottling is made from a classic, old vine Galician field blend that is primarily Mencía, but which also includes Garnacha Tintorera and Bastardo. This vineyard was planted in 1940. The wine includes eighty 65 percent whole clusters, is fermented in wooden vats and spends one year of élevage in older Burgundy barrels prior to bottling. The 2021 La Poulosa comes in at 13.5 percent alcohol in this vintage and delivers a superb, vibrant bouquet of cassis, dark berries, pomegranate, graphite, dark soil tones, sweet stem tones, coffee bean, gentle botanicals and a topnote of cigar smoke. On the palate the wine is bright, focused, complex and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, great mineral undertow, fine-grained tannins and impeccable balance on the long, complex and very promising finish. This is outstanding juice! 2031-2075". John Gilman, 94 pts
