Mas Oller Picapoll Negre

The organic 2015 Picapoll Negre is produced with grapes from one specific vineyard in the centenary property Heretat Oller del Mas and was aged in French oak barrels for nine months. The color is really pale, and it's also quite light and ethereal with 12% alcohol. However, the oak seems more prominent than in previous vintages and kind of masks the wine a little, giving it a mainstream spicy and smoky profile. The core is red berries and wild herbs, with a pollen-and-honey thin patina. The palate has some fine-grained tannins and some oak-related flavors. 2,955 bottles produced.

Tasted blind. Pale ruby colour. Delicate aroma of Mediterranean herbs, thyme and rosemary, over red and black plums. Very ethereal texture, with lots of softness and finesse. Vivid acidity and fine-grained tannins, the scrubland herbs come again at the back palate. It has an oaked finish. Beautiful and precise bottle of wine, an extremely delicate burgundy-like expression.
