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 Thoughts: Nice red color. Nose has hints of red fruit, mixed with vanilla and cream. Strong hints of pine with spicy undertones. Flavor is very spicy with hints of oak and smoke. Some fruit. Decent amount of tannins. Overall not bad, but I think one taste was enough for me.
