Dominio del Aguila ‘Canta la Perdiz’ Tinto Fino 2019

I tasted two vintages of the single-vineyard Canta la Perdiz, from the vineyard that they consider to produce their most elegant red. The youngest of the two, the 2019 Canta la Perdiz was cropped from a warm and dry year, fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete with full clusters and a slow malolactic in barrel (seven months) and then spent 35 months in French oak barrels. It has an very expressive nose that is open and immediate, with polished tannins and surprisingly integrated oak after such a long elevage. It’s a vintage of pleasure and juiciness but with serious structure and depth and it is very harmonious and balanced with fine-grained chalky tannins. 1,847 bottles produced. Importer’s notes.
