Conca de Barberà, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
Magnificently rich and unusual blend (insofar as I have not had this blend before). Golden straw colored and overarching notes of apple juice, but there is more depth underneath that.

Mar 24th, 2016Dark rich color, similar to dark lingonberry syrup, medium light body. Notes of straw, blueberry jam and strawberry compote and a tiny bit of granite and faint hint of cooked broccoli, not very strong on nose. Tastes of slight fruit, tiny bit of pale straw, raw mushroom, woodsy pepper throughout. More fruit developing as it breathes. Medium mouthfeel. High acid, giving way to lasting tannin. Overall a nice interesting glass.

Eyes: Medium light color, nose: dark fruit, vanilla, palate: cherry, currant, peppery spice, acidity, implying not-so-ripened grapes. (14% Alc with 42% Grenache, 38% Syrah, and 20% Mourvedre)

Crisp and refreshing. Hints of lemon and perhaps pear.

Sulky dark fruit. An earthy funk on the nose. Medium-bodies with some grip at the end. A brooding wine with a softer side.
