2020 Clos Nelin Blanco

The 2020 Nelin suffers a bit in comparison with the 2019 vintage that I tasted next to it. There was some mildew, but less than in other zones, and they produced a little less wine. The wine is concentrated, powerful and ripe at 14.5% alcohol, reflecting a warmer year of lower yields. It has some fine tannins. They always play a little with the skins, but he doesn't like the skin contact with the Garnacha Blanca, but even so it shows, also I guess because of the character of the year. The wine is compact and powerful, not as nuanced as the 2019, a little foursquare and in need of time in bottle and/or powerful food. 6,500 bottles produced.
