The Vintage Cellar 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: I definitely smell the
spice in this wine, but I can also detect the fruit which seems to be unripe
cherries. It tastes a little dry but not
in an overwhelming way. I get the
feeling of black berries and it also tastes a little woody. I don’t get the qualities we discussed in
class that come from wood, I just feel like I licked a piece of wood.
