Adega Algueira S.L.
Castagaia Sousón
Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain
First time w Sousón. I can see, first impression, why it was/is a favored grape for Port. Gives the impression of rich impregnability, but…this wine is paradoxical, lots of inner mouth energy with a distinctive graphite streak down the middle of your tongue and gum licking tannins,,yet lithe, never heavy. 13°. Plums, chocolate, dark fruits, soil.
Not the most expressive nose, but we consumed this within 3 hrs of opening.
Maybe a slosh/ decant would bring forth?
However, it once again confirms that Spain is producing a huge array of quality Tinto & Blanco.
Thanks @chambersstwines.
