Just a hint of RS, nectarine and lime fruit, floral with herb notes as well. Light yet with some oomph, long finish.. A-/B+

So shortly before the call I decant, and note the light color (even for Listan Negro). A beautiful clear ruby.. As we start the call I realize I am not drinking the correct wine, this is a Rosado that I forgot that I had, the 2019 Dolores Cabrera Fernandez €śLa Araucaria€ť (Tenerife). Big oops. But I enjoyed the call, and I enjoyed the wine. Peppery, fragrant, raspberries and cranberries. Fine finish for a rose. B+
