2005 Finca Los Trenzones Sauvignon Blanc La Mancha Condesa de Leganzamore |
11/17/2006 - suzanna9452000 wrote: NRAn inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc from Spain. Big, tart, green apple, with a finish that goes on and on. Fun and zingy, totally drinkable on its own as well as with food. Pucker up and enjoy. |

2005 Finca Los Trenzones Sauvignon Blanc La Mancha Condesa de Leganzamore |
9/16/2007 - suzanna9452000 wrote: NRFloored at how different this tasted after holding a bottle for nearly a year in the cellar. Light golden color. Apple, grapefruit, some grass and a slight floral note on the nose. The bracing tartness and cheek-stinging astringency from last year has mellowed, and left is a delicious, balanced wine with succulent green apple, citrus, wet stone, a little bit of metal, and hay. Silky mouthfeel. Just lovely. Was expecting the worst, but this is tasting unbelievably good at this point in time for an $8 wine. |

11/26/2013 - owr wrote: 86 pointsI ended up taking this wine into a wine class I teach for those with a more sophisticated palate ... I told them it was a single grape varietal - some thought it old, but no one thought it 15 years old (2006 was the closest guess) ... though someone did nail the country and grape variety: 100% Tempranillo from Spain (Rioja) - though the wine is from La Mancha. The rest of the vinification goes something like this: 12 months in oak barrels and 24 months of bottle age before release. Aromas started out earthy and musty (typical for a wine in bottle this long) with a pruny vegetal note that sooner rather than later began to reveal dried strawberry compote. And while the palate was earthy there were other aspects to it that were interesting, if you were willing to give it a chance: dried sour cherry with a hint of fig; the acidity was also up to par along with a core that showed lots of woodsy notes. My final note on the wine read: "This wine will not set the world on fire, but it is quite drinkable the longer it sits in glass the better it gets" (I only had it in glass about an hour before I drank the rest) ... I would definitely not want to hold this wine any longer cause it ain't getting any better. but it sure was a great experiment that paid off handsomely. |

4/21/2005 - MediumMac wrote: 80 pointsInitially red cherry and earthy aroma. Palate is cherry, green vegitables and some slightly strong tannins that continue on through to a slightly bitter linger. After about an hour of decanting, It balanced out very well. The lingering tannins subsided and allowed the fruit to stay in the mouth for a good amount of time. Pretty smooth and balanced. |

8/8/2006 - pbjosh wrote: 88 pointsBeautiful deep garnet to ruby, translucent, some transparency at the rim. Silky nose of red fruits, spice, earth. Somewhat hollow on the palate but what is there is sweet fruit and sweet earth and decent acidic and tannic structure. Finishes nicely. Tremendous for under $10. |

8/27/2011 - Javachip wrote: 91 pointsHigh neck fill. Perfect capsule and cork. Decanted and served. Clear deep dark blood-ruby. Lovely bouquet of crushed cranberries, red currants, leather, wood and dry earth. Similar on the palate -- pleasantly tart and mouthwatering. Bouquet and palate steadily improved over 90 minutes. Not especially nuanced or complex, but a beautiful example of this varietal. |
