"Tasted blind. Menthol, aromatic and somewhat closed on the nose. Full-flavoured, powerful, with creaminess. The palate is savoury, concentrated, citric. Good balance and a touch of richness at the end of the palate. Pleasant touch of struck match. (FC)"

"There were more iodine and low-tide notes in the nose of the 2021 Pepe Luis, with herbal and moss aromas, while the smoky notes were more in the background. The vintage is more marked in this wine; this is sharper and more austere than the rounder 2020 that I tasted next to it, despite both being balanced, fresh and harmonious. 6,100 bottles were produced. It was bottled after spending 17 months in two 2,500-liter oak foudres."
