Casa Castillo: Pie Franco 2011

Parker om: Pie Franco

-- Parker: The 2011 Pie Franco shows incredibly well after the very recent bottling (March 2013) following its elevage of 17 months. It’s all red fruits, blood-orange, aniseed, very young, in a fruity style, fine, elegant. For some it might be too Burgundian, not so true to its origin. Fragile, from a difficult vintage when they had to select the grapes and produce (even) less quantity. Velvety, lacy, with piercing acidity, round and polished. 15% alcohol. 7,300 bottles produced. The most Burgundian of all Pie Franco produced so far. I don’t know when this will be released, but it could be drunk now. Drink 2013-2021. 93/100
