Pagos de Familias ›
Dominio de Valdepusa Petit Verdot 2006‹. Über den Wein aus der spanischen
D.O. Dominio de Valdepusa schreibt der Autor nachfolgend im Original:
„The glass-coating ›2006
Petit Verdot‹ offers up brooding black fruits, spices, and licorice aromas and flavors in its compelling perfume. In the glass notes of game, bacon, and exotic spices emerge leading to a lengthy, pure finish lasting for 45-seconds. Without a track record for longevity (the first vintage of this wine was in 1994), it is difficult to know how it might age but the wine’s depth and balance suggest that 20 years is not out of the question. The flagship AAA is only produced in exceptional vintages with no fixed rules regarding composition or vinification.”
