| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 34 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by MacLizardking on 1/21/2016 & rated 92 points: Last of the Majorcan supplies ... delicious second wine from Anima Negra, still with the lovely, earthy undertones of it's big brother, but slightly lighter on the palate and also without the resolving complexity. However, lest we forget, this is about 50% less expensive! An indulgent and boozy (14.5%!) drop, that opens up beautifully after an hour or two in a decanter...would deffo buy more if I came across it! Cheers...

Knaller mit Currywurst (1870 views) | | | Tasted by DEBacchus on 2/1/2015 & rated 88 points: Round and balanced; Descent finish with a whiff of tobacco; Yet, was expecting a bit more fruity or savory flavors to add an extra touch. (1795 views) | | | Tasted by appel54 on 9/7/2014 & rated 92 points: Fantastic wine that has a lot of deepth. Definitely worth buying more bottles (2466 views) | | | Tasted by DK Amateur on 8/16/2014: Not very deep-coloured. Open nose with dark fruits and something organic, milky. Supple, not very marked by oak, high acidity and some savoury notes. From previous experiences with other vintages I remember it as being darker and more oaky. I think I like this more. (2209 views) | | | Tasted by weiny on 7/11/2014: alleine zuhause (1300 views) | | | Tasted by weiny on 6/20/2014 & rated 90 points: Vollfruchtig in der Nase und fast französisch. Braucht Luft. Schöne beerige Note. (961 views) | | | Tasted by Harley1199 on 9/27/2013: Ánima Negra vertical tasting (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Surprisely it isn't a red colour wine, it is violet.
Very oaky on the nose.
Perhaps graphite, chalk and some iron. In spite of that the aromatic Shirah is clearly trying to predominate.
Pretty acid on the palate. To my taste just needs time.
Sorprendentemente no es el rojo, es violeta.
En nariz muy amaderado .
Quizás grafito, pizarra y algo de mineral de hierro. No obstante la aromática Shirah lucha por predominar.
Bien ácida en boca. Para mi gusto necesita tiempo. (2249 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

This is the kind of story that people in the wine business love to tell. Three bright, young men from Mallorca decide that the indigenous vines of their famed island are capable of producing far better wine that has been turned out in the past. One is a skilled enologist, one an eloquent salesman and one owns an ancient stone farmhouse. They contract with 135 tiny local vineyards to acquire rights to vines of native grapes that are 50 to 85 years old. These stressed vines are dry-farmed and are not fertilized. The old farmhouse was turned into a winery and they began to hand-produce a trickle of unique and elegant wine. Very soon, they are famous and have more eager customers than bottles of wine.Red Blend.Spain 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 [sic] 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 (when sweetened). 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).
