Details

The Jonata 2019 Fenix reveals a deep, inky garnet color, hinting at its intense and brooding nature. The nose is rich and complex, with captivating aromas of cacao, scorched earth, and espresso bean, intertwined with notes of dried figs, chicory coffee, and a touch of herbal mint and sage. On the palate, it presents a powerful and chalky texture, with persistent flavors that mirror its aromatic profile, featuring dark chocolate, earthy undertones, and a whisper of toasty oak. This wine exudes a remarkable density and force, balanced by a lifted, elegant structure. The finish is long and lingering, marked by a perfect balance of power and finesse.


Antonio Galloni - 95+ Points

"The 2019 Fenix is painfully young. Then again, it was just bottled a few weeks before this tasting. It is unusually tight for a Merlot-based red. That's probably a very good thing for the future. In this tasting, the 2019 is a bundle of energy. I can't wait to taste it in another 6-12 months. There is plenty of verve here, not to mention tons of class."
