Coto de Gomariz, Finca O Figueiral, Ribeiro, Galicia, 2017

Top wine. An amazing expression of complexity and a refinement of what Ribeiro can – and must – be. Not particularly intense on the nose: grassy and zesty, with a hint of green spice. Spectacular mouthfeel, amazingly balanced, with a baroque expression, showing different nuances after every sip, keeping a joyful, very fresh style despite the complexity. The finish shows that the wine has been carefully aged on its lees, and it promises nice development in bottle. I took the sample home, and tasted it over the next three days to check ageability, with good results. But nothing surpasses drinking a glass of it right now.
