Sorte O Soro, Rafael Palacios 2021

I love the incisive character of the 2021 Sorte O Soro, sharp and laser cut, a cold wine, austere, subtle, precise, clean and a sensation of vin de garde, harmonious, and despite being 100% new oak, the wine does not show any oak aromas or flavors; it has purity and energy, with light and a vibrant palate with purity and elegance that reminded me of some of the wines from Jean-Marc Roulot in Burgundy. This is the wine with the lowest pH and highest acidity, and the wine can take the oak with no problem. This is about the vineyard, the granite soils. It finishes with a clear salty touch; you lick your lips, and they are salty. It should develop nicely in bottle.
