a few days before I first tasted it

This has to be the finest Finca Sandoval and one of the purest expressions of Syrah in Spain

juicy and pure

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

and subtle spice unfold gracefully

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
