L'avis des experts
I find the 2019 Carravel relatively ripe and oaky compared with the rest of the portfolio I tasted. It's Mencía with some 10% other local varieties, fermented destemmed in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in 2,000-liter oak foudres and barrels of different sizes for two years. It's smoky and spicy with notes of ripe berry fruit, quite straightforward. The palate is medium to full-bodied with some tannins and oak flavors resonating in the finish. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.6 and 5.5 grams of acidity. 11,120 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024.
This shows aromas of dried flowers with an earthy, ferric element. Medium- to full- bodied with a juicy profile and an elegant finish. This comes from a single vineyard planted in Amandi in schist soil. This is mostly mencía. Drink now or hold.

Trop doux pour un rouge, trop bonbon acidulé, tension déséquilibrée. Pour moi, vraiment décevant par rapport à ce que j’avais gouté
