This is a very nice 13 year old Garnacha from Spain.
Showing black fruits with wood, chocolates, coffee, vanilla, licorice, earth, green vegetables, beef jerky, spices and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with with medium acidity.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and cherries.
Not very complex on the nose, but very nice on the palate.

A medium bodied, well balanced, 100% Spanish flagship Grenache grape wine. Yum this is one of the best examples of the storied Campo de Borja region wines scoring a “Wine Spectator” 91. Rich and lush with dusted black fruit and leather tones it coats your mouth with a wonderful smooth feeling of fruit and vanilla velvet leaving log legs. An absolute delight Cheers 🍷 — 7 years ago
(16.5/20) Насыщенный рубиновый цвет, непрозрачное. Концентрированный аромат чернослива, сушеного инжира и изюма. Довольно высокая кислотность, шелковистые танины. Во вкусе чернослив. Долгое послевкусие. Хороший баланс и отличная концентрация во вкусе и в аромате, не хватает лишь сложности. — 8 years ago
Nose: dried flowers and ripe raspberries / Taste: good mouth feel, not super heavy. Black cherry. Little spice in the finish and moderate tannins grip the back of the mouth. Buy again! — 9 years ago

So don't agree on 93 pts from Parker. Large wine. Some heat. But like the fruit. So good showing from a QPR standpoint. Thanks #garagiste — 7 years ago

Wow, the wine list from Quince is killer! And Chris knows exactly what she is doing. This wine is a diamond in a rough. — 11 years ago
The '11 Bodegas Barco de Piedra Tempranillo is proof that good wine doesn't have to be expensive. Bluish purple in color, this medium-bodied wine emits a bouquet of black fruits, cherries, licorice, pepper and leather. It's delightfully creamy, velvety and complex. Very impressive for the money. — 11 years ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Deep Ruby with pronounced aromas of ripe dark berry fruits and earthy forest floor notes, from a 3.7-acre plot, the estate’s highest-elevation vines (1,475 feet). On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with cacao, cedar, espresso and pepper spice. Fine tannins, great balance, complex long finish ending with earthy herbs, fruit and oaky notes. Nice! Small production, less than 700 cases made! — 8 months ago
