Color of dark amber. Nice nose of green apple, spice, mint, ripe banana, and aldehyde. Taste of condensed brown sugar, toffee, a bit spice, a bit minty, and very smooth. Nice green apple and black tea aftertaste on the tongue. A good bottle with decent mix of sweetness and spice. A bit lack in complexity but overall very enjoyable and easy to drink. — 9 years ago

The final bottle of the case. This wine is now darker and smokier on the nose with less of the blue fruit and more of the stewed black fruits. The palate still has wonderful acidity but is far less lush. Flavors of wet earth mingle with darker stewed plum and blackberries and lead to a bit of a shorter finish that shows a touch more puckering acidity. — 8 years ago

Rosado 2000 LdH

Garnacha 60%, Tempranillo 30%, Viura 10%
Medium salmon to a copper rim.
Amazingly complex nose. Buttery (suggesting diacetyl from malolactic fermentation), nutty (suggesting extended oxidative aging in oak barrels, probably used), toasted almond (oxidative acetaldehyde aromas), savory sweet toast (used oak), slight animal fur (suggesting Brettanomyces). Predominantly savory. Slight acetaldehyde.

A bit flat on the palate, with medium body, medium alcohol (12%), medium acid (tart sour almond skin finish I associate with excessive acetaldehyde), and no phenolic bitterness. Some notes of sour old coconut milk (possibly signs of extended aging in used American oak barrels - it spends 4.5 years in oak). Also some sweet vanilla and bourbon/maple syrup aromas (also probably used American oak. Nutty toasty almond skins and biscotti. — 11 years ago
