Note di degustazione
Saturated violet. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes spice- and mineral-accented cherry, black currant, mulberry and licorice, along with hints of incense and pungent flowers. Stains the palate with concentrated black and blue fruit, floral pastille and exotic spice flavors sweetened by a late touch of vanilla. Delivers a compelling blend of richness and energy and finishes strikingly long and gently chewy, with reverberating blue fruit and mineral notes and slowly building tannins. Raised in new 500-liter and used 225-liter French oak barrels.

Paixar was a revelation, one of the first modern Bierzos, produced with the García family from Mauro. I tasted two vintages of this wine, which has come a long way. The riper and headier 2017 Paixar is explosive and hedonistic, truly remarkable for a very complex year in the region. But the palate has purity of flavors and vibrant fruit, and the oak feels integrated like never before. It's a much more floral and elegant version of this wine that keeps the essence of the high-altitude old vineyards on slate soils in the village of Dragonte. I think this is a real triumph over the conditions of the year. It matured in 225- and 500-liter oak barrels for 15 months, but the oak is completely integrated. 12,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2019.
