Vintage Cellar notes: This wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice, and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy, and shows great depth, ripe tannins, length, but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses, etc.
This wine smelled delicious. It was fruity yet not overly sweet smelling. It was acidic and dry, yet also a little sweet and fruity. Very full bodied, this was one of my favorites in the lineup. Did detect a little bit of spicy to it It reminded me a lot of many of the dozens of bottles of wine I had while hiking through Spain last summer. I had to buy a bottle of this. I imagine this would be a great wine to cook with as well.
