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...

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.

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.

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.

Vollfruchtig in der Nase und fast französisch. Braucht Luft. Schöne beerige Note.
