Astonishing aromas: anise, menthol, cut herbs, and rubbed sage. The palate has juicy layers with plenty of fine tannins, mouth-watering acidity, and notes of black tea, juniper berry, cassis, and an earthy, stony edge. A benchmark for natural wine lovers. Very long and truly interesting (and enjoyable) ~96 Decanter
Color: cherry, garnet rim; Aroma: wild herbs, dried herbs, ripe fruit, expressive; Mouth: tasty, balsamic, spicy, easy to drink. ~91 Guía Peñín
The nose of the 2018 Cantariña 2 Viña de los Pinos, from the Paraje Las Gundiñas in Villafranca del Bierzo, has notes of iron and blood, earthy and dusty, with marked rusticity. It's austere, and the finish is very dry, despite the volume and the 14% alcohol. It might need time. 6,084 bottles and 184 magnums were produced. It was bottled in August 2020. ~Robert Parker.
