Bierzo Tinto, 'Ultreia de Valtuille', Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Perez 2021

"The 2022 Ultreia Valtuille comes from different plots in the lieu-dit of Villegas. The wine has contained alcohol but has a roundness and a ripe sensation on the nose. They are using 25% foudres for the ,levage here, and that percentage will be increased in the future. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. Some 4,800 bottles produced."

A supple palate of dark fruit and compote. The nose matches the mouth profile with the addition a certain note and a kiss of oak. Long, satisfying finish.
