Envinate 'Lousas' Vina de Aldea, Galicia, Spain 2022 Jumilla forest floor and leather emergeThe bottled 2022 Lousas Vias de Aldea is aromatic, extroverted, open and immediate, floral, perfumed and expressive, with a juicy and round palate. It's fleshy and round, still with 12. 5% alcohol on the label but possibly a tad riper than the 2023 sample I tasted next to it. It's a very approachable vintage for this cuve. 25,200 bottles and 360 magnums produced. It was bottled in November 2023. 93+ Pts Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker
