Barco del Corneta

Overpowered by oak

This started well, with a powerful aroma of overripe peaches and even mango mixed with the typical verdejo herby touch but, sadly, on the palate it was overpowered by the oak. I gave it some time in the glass, decanted, let it warm a little, put it back in the fridge... but it didn't change. I just wished the winemakers could give more room to the grape and the terroir and less to the oak.

Great structure with balanced acidity and clean palate.

Enjoyed this more than I expected. Lovely apple and lemony palate with a good acid backbone and long finish from the barrel ageing. Really nice.

Surprisingly long finish

Nice Verdejo. Golden, smells mango, vanilla, apple jam, dried pears. A bit bitter, medium fresh, full bodied. Long, complex, but lacks elegance

Lovely oak aged white.

A nice oak aged white with good depth and structure. A clean Verdejo that is nice to drink on it’s own or with food.

Verdejo muy interesante, sin excesos frutales

Vino donde se nota la uva y toda su estructura, pero evitando tanto la madera como los excesos de frutas verdes tan típicas de algunos verdejos. Absolutamente recomendable y muy versátil gastronómicamente.
