Raul Perez, La Vizcaina - La Vitoriana, Bierzo 2021 Pax Wines A little dumb on theA beautifully ripe intermingling of dark and red fruits with a spine of cooling acidity, perhaps derived from that north exposition. A finely tannic impression and no trace of oak; its a beautifully unadorned Bierzo. Planted in 1881, La Vitoriana is still on Pie Franco rootstocks and faces north at 600m elevation. Dense and deep flavoured. Throbbing with potential. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson. com (16. 5)
