Rías Baixas 'Palomar' 2022 Zarate

Iets romig mondgevoel, maar zeker ook met de kenmerkende Atlantische ziltigheid. World of Fine Wine voegt hier een mooie recensie aan toe: "Zárate’s El Palomar vineyard is the family’s oldest parcel of vines and among the oldest in Rías Baixas. The 150-year-old roots pass through the decomposed granite into the rock. Palomar is a small parcel—no more than an acre. It’s the only Zárate wine made in foudres, large old ones, where it goes through its malolactic—unusual for for Rías Baixas—and ages on lees. The 2020 has a lightly nutty aroma with a hint of apricot. The attack is quite rich and the mid-palate is intense and silky—a lick of gloss. There is spice, cumin, and white pepper. It sweeps into an elegant, extended, and supple-saline finish. It really is too delicious. I was captivated by Pomares’s wines."
