Note di degustazione
The 2017 MR de Compostella is a blend of 43% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot cultivated on Dolomite granite soils. I am accustomed to the elegant and beautifully defined nose, having tasted every vintage since the maiden release; suffice it to say that the 2017 is as thrilling as the first time I encountered this wine. The nose features laser-focused red berry fruit laced with orange blossom, pressed rose petals and light sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very smooth in texture and, while not the most powerful "MR" that I have tasted, it offers discreet black pepper and clove notes on the persistent and unusually understated finish. Born with immense pedigree, this MR de Compostella should be afforded three or four years in the cellar.

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cab Sauvignon, the 2017 De Compostella begins with a dark-fruited and juicy core, with dusty flowers and an herbal edge with oak that is pleasurable on the nose. The palate is fresh and clean with a greenness to it provided by the Cabernets. With a chocolaty sensation, the structure is still tight but is showing well, considering that this was bottled just a week before I sampled it. The finish is structured with focus, power and elegance. Keep an eye out for this bottling, and grab one if you can, as there were only 6,000 bottles made.
