Winery 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 wonderful elegance and lightness.
Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc.
My review: This
was another wine that was not strong on the nose. You really had to get in the glass and to be honest the
most noticeably smell was the alcohol. This like wine like the Sainte Victoire Cotes is a
high-alcohol wine. You don’t taste the heat
though. It has spiciness on the
mid-palate. The finish is bitter, which
I didn't like.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
