Escoda Sanahuja La Llopetera 2012 Conca de Barberà

Varietal Pinot Noir from a vineyard at 600 metres. Beautifully packaged with a nice capsule. Savoury, earthy, spicy nose is quite firm with a hint of pepper. You get different aspects of this each time you smell it, but the savoury spiciness persists. The palate is fresh and savoury with a firm, grippy character and nice lemony acidity. Quite dry, with firm tannins under the cherry and plum fruit. Not as sweet as you’d expect some Spanish reds to be: a distinctly food-friendly style. It’s not oxidized, but the tannins have taken quite an angular grip on the palate. Quite unlike anything else you will have from Spain.
