Bodegas Caudalìa - Paal 01 Navarra 2019

The wine is ripe, tipping the scales at 14.5 percent octane, but this is Navarra and is one of the warmer growing regions in Spain. The wine is beautifully precise on the nose, wafting from the glass in a mix of black raspberries, smoked meats, pepper, a hint of dark chocolate, black olives, a fine base of soil tones and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and meaty in personality, with a fine core of fruit, good soil signature, ripe, chewy tannins and a long, well balanced and youthfully complex finish. This is lovely Syrah.
