The 2004 Pulchrum Crespiello spent 36 months in new French oak before bottling without filtration. It offers a similar aromatic and flavor profile to the Gorys cuvee but is even more tannic and seemingly over-extracted. It will require a minimum of 8-10 years of cellaring but how it will evolve is anyone’s guess. If I were a relatively young deep-pocketed gambler, I might bury a couple of bottles in the cellar for curiosity’s sake.Bodegas Bioenos specializes in the indigenous grape Crespiello, so rare that even The Oxford Companion to Wine does not have an entry for it.Importer: Tom George, Frontier Wines, Dover, NJ; tel.
