Vintage Cellar's 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:
Mmmm! After a recommendation by a bartender a few weeks ago, I have been increasing my uptake of and appreciation for this type of wine; Spanish with a spicy kick! Bursts of berries, raspberries and pepper on the nose. The body didn’t disappoint and was engulfed in almost too strong berry flavors and spices. Overall, a very strong wine with bursts of flavor, but very unbalanced and a bit tarty. Definitely a type of wine for which you grow an appreciation as your palate grows. GO OUT AND TRY WINES LIKE THIS! Too many people are afraid of these wines and are reluctant to acclimate their palates to them. However, you may want to start with a more balanced wine since this is teetering on the more pronounced edge of the spectrum. This would go well with strong foods such as flavored and dried meats but might be a little too much to drink more than a glass of by itself

Tasted without food.
