Nuestra Soledad Lachigui

Edition 5 from 2016. Batch: PV0ES081117NS Very faint whiff of smoke on the nose. Predominantly fruit forward (white grapes, honeydew melon) with some chalky element going on. Flavor is also very fruit forward, extremely mineral, wet cement, clay, a bit perfumy, and a touch harsh on the finish. More perfume on the finish which I think another reviewer nailed when he said it’s reminiscent of jasmine; which I’m not a fan of. I’d prefer some more vegetal notes and less perfume/floral but it’s got a good stuff going on too and it’s obviously quality…just not my preference.

nose: light smoke and agave taste: ripe grape, papaya and wet stone finish: slightly hot, minty Edition 11, 2018, batch PVES090919NS, 48%

Full of charred wood, extensive citrus zest on the palate. Pleasant but not amazing.
