Shop Critic: This wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc.
My Review: This wine smelled of cranberries, raspberries, with some prominent black pepper notes as well. More overwhelming, however, was the alcohol that came there. This probably wasn't the most well-crafted wine and the alcohol smell overpowered a lot of the other aromas present. The mouthfeel was smooth yet dry, a little bit sticky and chalky. It was extremely hot and bitter on the back of my palate. I did not really enjoy this wine at all. Definitely going to pass on this one.
I drank this wine with no food compliment.
