Victoria E. Torres Pecis Sin Titulo NG 2017

Incredibly delicious and just downright impressive. The nose is stunning - slightly perfumed, with hints of smoke, a touch of meatiness, loads of plum and red flowers, and a whiff of liqueur. Really captivating. On the palate it's super delicate, beautifully balanced, and complex in a way that keeps you engaged. Long finish, great acidity, and solid tannins - there's definitely still potential here. Lovely wild strawberry and smoke linger on the finish. A gorgeous wine.

Victoria makes a "Sin Titulo" (without a name) bottling every vintage, but the wine is always a one-off. For example, in 2016 Sin Titulo was an oxidative white, but in 2017 it is a red made from Negramoll. The idea is to blend grapes from the first plot harvested (August in 2017) and then from the last plot picked (October/November). It turns out, that it takes around 3 months to harvest all the plots around the island - the weather and elevation allow it. The first goes into an oak barrel and the second into stainless steel. Both see nine months on lees, where they pick up some colour and texture.

2017 is a vintage of very low yields. Mostly because of hail. So only 1200 bottles were produced.

I might hate untitled documents, but Sin Titulo is pure love. Especially when I don't have to share it with anyone, so I can witness how it unfurls in the glass over hours. And you sea, I try my best to age at least one bottle, but again and again I fall into the trap of this beauty.

Notes of plums, dark fruits, red flowers, raw meat, smoke, and ink. It's seamless, delightful, and delicious. Almost perfectly balanced. The finish is long with flavours of dark fruits, raisins, and cuttlefish ink (talk about sea, right?). Great wine. It's vibrant, sour, and sophisticated.

The bouquet is a charming invitation, unfurling notes of red fruits, red flowers, raw meat, smoke, and dark berries. It's a flavorful journey on the palate---mineral-rich, near-perfectly balanced, juicy, and utterly delightful. I have nothing to add. This wine is meant to be enjoyed.

I haven't tasted this wine for almost a year. And honestly, that was a mistake. This (literally) nameless Negramoll is arguably one of the best Negramoll you can find on the UA market. It has a delicate and sophisticated bouquet of red flowers, cherries, medicinal herbs, smoke and dark berries. Flavourful, mineral, almost perfectly balanced, juicy and just delicious beauty.

Victoria E. Torres Pecis is a personal discovery of this summer. Lovely bouquet displaying this wine's origin. Grounded pepper, smoke, medical herbs, black and red berries, and flowers. Delicate and almost perfectly balanced, it offers a long, flavourful and mineral aftertaste. My favourite of the evening, but I am biased, so ignore my words for your own good.

Hands down, this is an incredible wine. Overripe wild strawberries, pomegranate, blackberry, spices, dried rosé petals, curry, and smoke. Delicate, almost perfectly balanced, juicy and simply delicious. Made of a quite rare grape - Negramoll. At this point I just want to steal a bottle or two and enjoy them alone.
