I tasted two vintages of the top Xarello, including the 2015 Xarel.lo Pairal from a small crop of much riper grapes than the 2016 that I tasted next to it. This wine is riper and fuller than the 2016, but the production was the same. So, what you see are the differences provided by the conditions of the vintage. I love the intense and varietal nose here—open, expressive, aromatic and fully Mediterranean—and the palate combines power and elegance. It shows some development, but it has some mileage in the bottle. It finishes dry and with the distinct saltiness on the finish. 1,980 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2016.
