Note di degustazione
2016 was a cooler year, but the first bottle of the 2016 Táganan Parcela Margalagua I tasted felt a bit advanced; the tannins remained, and the fruit was fading, but it had more structure. A second bottle was much fresher and shows true to the cooler year. It is similar in style to the 2018 and is what we were expecting from the vintage. It has a bright pale ruby color and is floral and light, elegant and persistent. It was bottled in October 2017.

Envínate, whom I first met at Suertes del Marqués on Tenerife , is a group of four university friends who had no wine tradition but now make wine all over Spain, including Canary Islands wines like this one. This is from their old forgotten seaside vineyard on Tenerife pictured in that 2014 article of mine. Two of them are still full-time winemakers in other bodegas. Pale ruby. Very unusual nose: spicy and dried cut peel. Dry skin-contact sort of texture. Could be a very useful food partner. But if you were given it out of context you might find it a bit too astringent.

A blend of Listán Negro, Listán Prieto, Baboso, Negramoll, Malvasia Negra, all from a single vineyard of untrained and ungrafted 100-year-old vines. Whole-cluster fermentation in 500-litre French oak casks for 11 months. Extremely tender and delicate nose showing spices, potato skin, dried flowers and complex overall aromas. Very little texture but heady, aerial, soft acidity and lingering delicate sensation. If you fancy delicacy this is a must-taste wine. It is quite heartbreaking, vibrant and sumptuous. (FC)
