Community Tasting Notes (average 86.2 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 5 notes) | |
| Tasted by cma82 on 9/11/2009 & rated 85 points: Simple red fruit and underbrush. Rather one-dimensional with unrefined tannins. Wasn't a bad bottle, but it wasn't exciting. (136 views) | |
| Tasted by polimeri on 6/16/2009 & rated 85 points: Not too much to say about this bottle. This is my first time having this grape before. It was light with black cherry and hints of cola with not very much of anything else going on. I will try another vintage or producer. (264 views) | |
| Tasted by DrT999 on 5/11/2009 & rated 87 points: Modest blackberry/cranberry nose. Cranberry, red raspberry, and a hint of mushroom upfront. Decent acidity and a touch of tannins. The raspberry goes from red to black as it flows into a finish of decent legnth. Good every day wine. (263 views) | |

About red wine
Vinos de España - Wines of Spain (Instituto Español de Comercio Exterior) | Wikipedia Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos and Amontillados. But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.
