Belondrade Les Parcelles 2019

2019 / 94 puntos

The top-of-the-range 2019 Les Parcelles is surprisingly dark, displaying a golden amber color, a nose of ripe yellow fruit and pollen. The palate is round and lush, with a dense, oily texture, 14.5% alcohol, finishing with ripe flavors. It comes from two plots, Cruz and Alameda, that were harvested on September 19 and 20. It's a riper expression of Verdejo, with a bone-dry finish. 1,684 bottles were filled in August 2021 and kept until they were released in March 2024. This seems to be developing at a faster pace than the 2018.
