Los Loros Valle de Güimar Tinto Edicion Especial Red Blend

Farty, funky cherry cola. Touch of burned rubber. Let’s see if that dissipates. Truffles, sage, & thyme. Interesting stuff. — 3 years ago

W&S Top 100. I didn’t ask if they had the black lava rock vine pits. I can see it in my head. It’s a fine view. — 5 years ago

Los Pasitos Vino de Parcela Baboso Negro 2016

Huge amount of Aroma here... Bacon fat sizzling in an iron skillet covered from the elements by an old, lighting struck barn.

Black pepper, Maui Xmas pepper berry, cherry skin, plum skin, dried alpine berries. Flint, sea derived saline.
Finishing with tangerine like acidity, pine resin and vegetal garden stalk

I called it on the nose - this grape is a genetic match to the Black Mission grape, AKA Pais, AKA Criolla.

While I prefer their white, this is the finest example of Listán Negro I've had yet. It's quite Rhone-ish, with lots of in-check savory funk. — 8 years ago

La Araucaria Valle de la Orotava Tinto Listan Negro 2015

Oh what a 2+ hour decant will do. This sings much clearer. High toned, but integrated tannins, crushed red fruits & that amazing volcanic thread, and, made by a woman vintner- thus better. I hope I can age a few of these. — 6 years ago

Candio Valle de la Orotava Listan Negro

MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET
9.2

#listannegro #tenerife #suertedemarques #candio #spanishwines Hazy (not filtered) medium+ garnet, pronounced intensity aromas musk, sweat, geranium, resin and chimney ash along with bright fresh cherries and red currant or cranberry jam. Dry, medium+ acidity, medium smooth tannins and medium + alcohol. Medium+ body pronounced intensity flavors of cranberry, cedar chest, ash and cider. The finish is medium + and the wine can easily age for the next 3-5 years. Very good quality. Perhaps overpriced. Points for being original. Much better on the palate than in the nose. — 7 years ago

La Araucaria Tinto Paraje La Perdoma Tenerife Valle de la Orotava Listan Negro

There really is something about island wines. We seem to have an affinity to them all—Madeira, Corsica, Sicily...and here we with are with Canary sack. Red, actually, with terrific poise, balance, and expression of terroir. Double decanted and enjoyed on the second day. Funky nose, with some sweet fruit mixed in. Peppery palate, wet stone, easy fruit, and great acidity. Another winner. — 5 years ago
