| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fastjonny on 5/15/2015 & rated 89 points: Still good! Not over the hill yet (1097 views) | | | Tasted by imcarthur on 6/30/2013 & rated 89 points: 1 hour decant. Deep purple red. Nice big round fruit with a hint of funk on the backside. Medium smooth finish with no nasties. A nice wine. (1622 views) | | | Tasted by Barolo Raymond on 12/17/2010 & rated 89 points: Decanted for 30 min. Ruby red, dark almost black in the core, bright clear rim. Young. Masculine wine, leather, brambles, mures, spices. High alcohol, hot, sweetish palate, brambles and dark fruits. Finish balances acidity with firm tannins. Bitter finishing notes start too early at the expense of the middle palate. Could be better balanced and structured. Still a bit constrained, keep 2-3 years. Went well with the bacon-wrapped partridge.
Value/money = 8. (2670 views) | | | Tasted by roblise on 5/2/2010 & rated 87 points: Missing something for the price. Noes was hard to pick up. Quite tight in the mouth with tannins overpowering the flavours. Next time would decant for a few hours before consuming to see if it opens up. Will let the next few bottles sit for 1-2 years.

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). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-info |
