2018 | Bodegas Bhilar 'Phinca El Vedao' | Rioja

I 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.
