"Bright , ethereal and characterful, full of wild raspberries, anise, white pepper funk, tiger balm and licorice. Tight and slightly chewy tannins give it a somewhat austere feel, if not a little rustic, too. That said, there is a lot to like on the palate, showing the attractive agility and super tanginess and assertiveness of a good pais. Very old vines from silty basaltic soils. Enjoy now."

"There is a new Pa¡s from a vineyard planted in 1895 that he rents in ¥ipas on black basalt soil, first produced in 2020 but I tasted the 2021 Soulpit. It fermented in concrete with 60% stems for 18 days and with a 30-day maceration. It matured in oak vat for 11 months. Pa¡s does not deliver high alcohol, and this is only 12.5%. It has a mixture of flowers, cherries in liqueur, aromatic herbs and brick dust, a mixture of the Comando G and Rayas styles and characters. It has more generous tannins, not as tight as the ones from granite. Apparently, there's an even better Pa¡s that I should taste one of these days soon... 2,562 bottles were filled in February 2022."
