Ètim Selection Garnacha Blend
Montsant, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
Nose has raspberry jam in a charred barrel, black currant juice, charred red pepper, wet leather, fresh clay pottery and moist, earthy soil.
Palate has ripe black currant, ripe blackberry, huckleberry and dried blackberry, with a medium tannic grip remaining. Likely this bottle could easily see a 15th or 20th b-day under proper storage conditions.
Alas our final bottle, it's been a stellar performer at btwn $15-17 in retail settings, about 6-8 years ago, have not seen this bottling in a while. We used to have some 2003, but that's long gone also.
60% Garnacha / 30% Cariñena / 10% Syrah

Dusty raspberry, lovely wine. Superb follow up to a Norton from MO.
Please see prior notes.

This bottle is holding well, dusty raspberry and plum on the nose. Palate has ripe plum with light oak influence lingering. Wonderful experience for $15.
