nicely layered fruit

The 2018 Finca Piedra Infinita Gravascal has notes reminiscent of some wines from the Northern Rhône

and quite saline

offering deeply concentrated raspberry

rustic and built-to-age finish

Francois Bertheau, Bonnes Mares other_regions nicely layered fruit(from a . 34 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges). A background hint of wood easily allows the cool and equally pure essence of red currant, plum and violet scents to be appreciated. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the tautly muscular flavors that are also shaped by relatively fine grained tannins on the balanced and lingering finale. This is a Bonnes Mares of refinement and finesse that should age well on a base of balance.
