The unique 2013 Les Tallades de Cal Nicolau was cropped from a cold and rainy year with a mild summer that resulted in a crop with more floral aromas and fresher wines in general. This limited bottling from the "Singularidades" range, where the name of the vineyard and the name of the vigneron have special importance, comes from an ancient plot of 0.2 hectares planted in 1870 with ungrafted Picapoll Tinta on limestone-rich soils that tend to produce a light and agile wine that is easy to drink but has more complexity than it seems. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in 500-liter oak barrels with a 28-day maceration and aged in well-seasoned, neutral 225-liter barriques for 12 months. There is a level of precision, of detail, of nuance and refinement I hadn't seen in this wine before. It feels like the grapes were picked on the exact day to deliver enough ripeness yet keep the ethereal personality. It has great depth and persistence while giving a sensation of being light. The flavors are precise, like they were chiseled or cut with a laser. It's simply a beautiful wine. It's drinkable now, but I'd love to see where it is with a decade in bottle. Unfortunately, only 600 bottles were produced, so chances of finding it again are slim.
