UK Sommelier Gold Awards 2017 - Goldmedaille
A great-value Gold from Navarra, this had ‘mineral aromas and oily texture, with leesy character and good acidity, lovely ripeness and a hint of oak, well made and balanced’, according to impressed team leader Laurent Richet MS, who concluded: ‘Almost over-delivers at the price.’ Fellow team leader Lionel Periner praised ‘nice apricot aromas and a floral note, leading to a dry, aromatic palate, with good length – a match for octopus terrine with avocado’.
