Gran Reserva Coleccion de Altura Red Blend 2005

Greg Ballington
8.9

Blind tasting, number 2. Garnet red in color. Musty nose with some floral notes and that of potpourri. Low tannins with a body that starts off slowly and then gets fuller (not full) in the end. Finish lingers for a few that is slightly tangy and metallic. — 10 years ago

Where the La Solana is fruit forward the Ciruelo is defined on the nose by a smoky, meaty and mineral. A wonderfully pure palate with a dark chocolate tannins but very svelte, delicious with a lovely acidity and fresh, red fruited finish — 11 years ago
