Note di degustazione
The 2001 Corullon exhibits a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a subtle, restrained, intellectually satisfying bouquet of crushed stones, white flowers, and blue as well as black fruits. Tightly-knit, with crisp acidity, hints of licorice and blueberries, medium body, and a crisp, vigorous yet refreshing finish, it appears to require another 2-3 years of cellaring, but since I have no experience with the varietal or the aging potential of these wines, it is better to be conservative and consume it over the next 7-8 years.

(all of these wines are made from 100% mencia, planted on vineyards around the town of Corullon; I tasted final blends just prior to bottling) Good medium ruby. Pungent, cool aromas of black cherry, licorice, bitter chocolate and fresh herbs. Juicy, firm and on the lean side, with slightly tart-edged berry flavors and edgy acidity. Tightly wound and slow to open, but a tad dry, even green, compared to the single-vineyard bottlings in 2001. Made from parcels owned by Alvaro Palacios and Ricardo Perez, and purchased fruit.
