Winery Review: "Made from 100% Old Vine Garnacha (40-50 year old vines). 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. WineReview 90 points"
My Review: The nose was sappy and smooth- like molasses with chocolate and caramel. It had a leathery suede surface texture with a full-bodied and complex palate full of blackberries, tannins, and cherries. There was a gripping, cayenne pepper quality that made this red a character. A drying 10-15 second finish had some heat that concluded a great experience. I truly enjoyed this rich selection, which does not make for casual drinking but should be enjoyed with a pricey filet or a collection of different cheeses.
