Note di degustazione
The 2020 Navazos-Niepoort is still quite young and a little fruit driven. 2020 was a low-yielding year with a wet summer (lots of botrytis in Sanlúcar, but not in Jerez). This is a lighter vintage, with less grip (and without the two extra years in bottle the 2018 that I tasted next to it has). These might seem like light wines, but they age much better than we all expected, and the quality of the vintage is easier to see after years in bottle. The first vintage, the 2008, is still going strong today. 5,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in 2021.

Wonderfully complex aroma that has a reductive (struck-match) edge but also ripe, smoky citrus. Blind, I might have been in Burgundy just from the aroma. On the palate, intense, so dry, powerful and long. So complex for a young wine. Got more and more smoky/reductive with air. Distinctive, and VGV . (JH)
