Tasting Viña El Pisón 1998 twenty years on is a firm reminder that far too many wines are drunk too young

This is lighter in style but the purity of expression is really lovely

This wine will actually benefit from 3-4 years of bottle-age and drink well for 15-20 years

(from a 1 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines)

and a small proportion is in amphorae

Francois Bertheau, Chambolle Musigny Vintage:2016 Tasting Viña El Pisón 1998A pretty, fresh and relatively dense mix of both red and blue pinot fruit is cut with discreet spice and floral nuances and in particular violet. The rich, concentrated and delicious middle weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a lingering and naturally sweet finish. This is more concentrated than usual and should drink well on the younger side if thats your preference but also age well too. 89 2023+
