Vintage Cellar Review: 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 a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc.
My Review: Dark maroon color, berry bouquet. This wine also had kind of a burning leaves smell: outdoorsy and smokey. There was a strong rush of pepper in the taste that stayed in the back of the throat a little. There was also a little fruit taste, not my favorite wine but complex and good for those who like a little more tannin flavor.
I tried this wine on its own without food.
