The 2006 Goliardo Loureiro is the product of a cooler year, hence its enhanced aromatics. It has expansive floral aromas, especially violet, along with fragrant notes of mineral, damp earth, black cherry, and black raspberry. On the palate it has superb grip, elevated but well-balanced acidity, layers of sweet fruit, and a sense of elegance. It personifies finesse and for this credit must be given to the brilliant winemaking of Raul Perez.
