The 2017 Corullón showed a wider side of this village blend, where they have been focusing to get more precision through harvesting every plot the exact day it should be bottled. That's why they sold up to seven hectares of vineyards, the most challenging plots, those at higher altitude and with more challenging ripening conditions, enabling them to achieve an even more precise blend with the remaining grapes. Its cherry red dress reveals beautiful aromatic notes, which take time to unveil. Red fruits, floral, spicy, mineral, and balsamic aromas sublimate a fresh and particularly tasty mouth. The oak foudre that seems to amplify the spicy side of the wine, with an herbal twist thrown in. The palate showed much better, with great balance and very fine tannins.
