Detailed info
“There is no wine from the 2016 vintage from Ribeira Sacra, so I tasted the 2017 El Pecado from the same vineyard that produces the Finca Capeliños from Guímaro. This is always a more elegant style of red, and it fermented with some 65% full clusters and had a softer extraction. This 2017 reminds me of the 2015, with heady aromas of flowers, wild berries, spices and earth and a powerful, vibrant palate that reveals great finesse and very good freshness for a warm year. There are abundant, very fine tannins that might require some more time in bottle, and it has a long, dry, salty and mineral finish.”
