Migan Vinos Atlánticos Listan Negro

Wow. I’m on a roll with shitty bottles - bretty and volatile; worse with air. Still some red fruits lingering if it’s any consolation.

So closed that you'd need power tools to open it. Despite a hard decant, the nose was just all sulphury reduction and smoke. Very tannin-forward on the palate - astringent almost, with just hints of red fruits lurking in the background. Combined with high acidity, this was far from a joy to drink. From the previous bottle opened, it looks like an overnight slow-ox (12h) would be required to make this drinkable, and even then reduction was still present.

Love this: great salinity, tart, sour red fruit. Great alone and also with fish.

Tangy red fruit and a little funky, in a good way. One of those you can drink slightly chilled during the summer.

Fun wine. Light bodied and a little one dimensional.

The most volcanic wine I’ve had. All the graphite and stone. Is sweet mushroom a thing? A little hollow in mid palette, with a pretty perfume wood finish.

Next time I’ll let it open for several hours

I was hoping for a bit more. Earthy. Interesting, but very subtle fruit notes. Never really blossomed.

Light, saline, peppery in a very Pinot D’Aunis kind of way, delicious.
