Tasting notes
Cropped from a cooler vintage and, therefore, with a cooler profile, the village red (vino de villa in the new classification from the 2017 vintage), the 2014 Corullón, felt like a more complete version of 2013, clearly a more Atlantic (cooler) year, with notes of violets, lilies and pomegranate, really expressive, open and aromatic, more focused, precise, clean and with a palate that follows that same line, plus the verticality and minerality added by the slate soils. Hands down, one of the best (if not the best) vintages of Corullón. Bravo! 12,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2016.

Mencía. Mid to dark ruby. Racy, sweet yet minerally wine with a dry finish. Lots of interest here – not like any other red. But it finishes a bit suddenly. (JR)
Mainly Mencía. Vineyards are planted on slate soils within Corullón village at 600-1,000 m elevation. 60- to 100-year-old vines. Tasted blind. The wine has great complexity, very ripe black fruit, sweet toast, plums and lots of extract. Remarkable within the flight, displaying a deep and intense palate. It combines volume and a balancing freshness. A clean and pure style of Mencía. (FC)
