a few days before I first tasted it

This red wine is really the crème de la crème of the Parcela series

A wide spectrum of aromas that range from blackberries and blueberries to graphite

Tight bubbles

heady wine

2018 | Bodegas Bhilar 'Phinca El Vedao' | Rioja Chateau Deyrem Valentin a few days before II found strong aromas of spices and herbs in the Phinca El Vedao, which comes from two plots in the El Vedao paraje in the village of Elvillar where there's a lot of Garnacha. It's 14. 5% alcohol but has kept quite high acidity, close to seven grams. It's medium bodied, fine grained and tightly coiled, with a chalky sensation. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
