critic/Winery Review: The 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 a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance
and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc.
My
Review: The
first thing that I smelled on the nose was raspberries. Full frontal attack of the raspberry bush. Imagine hiking through the woods and you
tripped and fell right into a raspberry bush (without the painful part of
it). I did get some hints of spice on
the tail end of the smell but wasn’t too bad of a smell. The taste of it was not as smooth as I would
have liked and it had a bit of a bite on then end. I think that came from the spice but it wasn’t
kick you off your shoes type. This would
taste really good with meat, sausage or even if you made some really spicy taco’s
it would really bring this wine up to par.
It was a good wine, nice spice but I would need to eat this with food.
