Comando G Villanueva 2023
HK$ 497.32
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The village 2023 Villanueva from Villanueva de Ávila is stunning, very aromatic and floral combined with minerality, coming through as more complete and with complexity, elegance and great length. The nose could remind you of a red from Chambolle-Musigny. They do not use sulfur until bottling, keeping the balance between precision and character. It has an ethereal side with notes of watermelon, rose hip and hibiscus, with a strong mineral, wet-granite sensation. It has energy with precision. This is a bargain for the quality it delivers. 3,972 bottles were filled in August 2024.
