Deep ruby, stewed red fruits, white and black pepper, clove, herbaceous, some vegies. Medium + tannins, high alcohol, full bodied, medium acidity. Medium finish. Very nice. On to an older competitor...
Please read my subsequent notes in the Muga Prado Enea for more context.
@Antonio Galloni any thoughts?

Very good. Prune, aged overripe fruit. — 6 years ago
Was highly skeptical of trying a cheap Texas wine, but was pleasantly surprised. Albariño is one of my favorite white grape varietals, and after learning that Spanish and Portuguese grapes do particularly well in the Texas climate thought I’d give it a shot. Crisp, very refreshing, Happy 4th! — 7 years ago

Good Ribera. 93% Tempranillo. 7% Merlot. Scored well in a recent small scale Ribera tasting. — 4 years ago
Super bone dry. Has a pear skin and like a cherry pit brightness. The excellence of manzanilla personified — 5 years ago
For sure not a French Rosè but very smooth and better cold! — 5 years ago
Blend of Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Garnacha from high altitude vines in Deifontes, Granada. Smooth — 6 years ago
Juicy, succulent with layers of texture. Black cherry and licorice with smoke, vanillin, and red rose petal. Really unique palate.. smooth and almost airy but with a beautiful cherry fruit texture. Blind, I would have guessed this to be the spring mountain, honestly. 100% single block Oakville vineyard. Nothing like regular oakville and I love it for that. — 8 years ago
Blackberry, smoky. Deserves to be open for like 45 mins before serving. — 8 years ago

El Prado BTG 10.13.21 / bought at Psychic Wines Oct. 2021 / grape: Garganega (grown in Soave, Gambellara & Sicily, Italy) / peach, honeydew, tangerine, marjoram, saline — 4 years ago
2018 was the very first vintage for this young French - Colombian couple in Albé (the only mountainous zone in Alsace) and the results are impressive. This is their high end Pinot Gris from the Steinacker vineyard at over 400 meters of altitude on schistuous soils. A blend of 3 different vinification techniques (stainless steel, oak and amphora) that has spent 9 months on the lees. Beautiful nose of white peach and flowers, with an uncommon minerality. Concentrated and juicy with real depth and impressive length, this is the most exciting Pinot Gris I have tasted in a long time from a region where this grape is way too often characterised by excessive residual sugar. Abv. 14,5 %. — 5 years ago
Nice golden yellow hue. On the nose light toastiness conplemented by fresh fruit, some minerality and very slight earthy element. Bit coarse mousse. Tangy acidity frames yellow toned fruit. Palate is focused rather than broad. Medium- on length and refreshing. This is good quality NV but lacks a bit thrill to be excellent — 6 years ago
Smoke, fat, and coffee. Nice earthiness and back end fruitiness. — 8 years ago
Absolutely brilliant. Clear cut bouquet and tannins. No frills, honest and easy accessible. Deep flavorers of berries. — 8 years ago
