2022 MR de Compostella

The 2022 MR de Compostella is a barrel selection from all five varieties, which are assessed blind and undergo trial blends. Those chosen blends are then evaluated against the previous five vintages. This has a gorgeous bouquet, quite understated at first, opening with red fruit, briar and a touch of wild mint mixed with potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, tensile and brimming with energy. A touch of black pepper and brown spices emerges as this fans out wonderfully toward the slightly medicinal finish.
