Goliardo Loureiro 2019

2018 > 92 puntos

As with most reds, I tasted two vintages, so I was able to compare the 2018 Goliardo Loureiro with the 2017. There is some creaminess and a spicy/smoky touch, a toasted twist; it seems like they used one new 500-liter barrel out of two, and it was enough to mark the final blend. The wine is more balanced, fresher and deeper than the 2017, but the oak is a bit intrusive. I think these marine reds do not go well with new oak. It should improve with some more time in bottle. 1,300 bottles produced. 1,300 bottles. It was bottled in April 2019. -June 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutiérrez-
