Thin and short, especially for the amount of alcohol it carries. Not sure what happened here- its not offensive- but can get great grenache, light or dense, at same price

Hipster wine from new appellation in Spain (in the hills around Madrid). A little funky, super dry, savory and mineral. LIghter color, more delicate in both flavor and tannins. Med acid. Interesting.

Ljusröd i färgen. Dofter av rosor, röda vinbär och tuttifrutti. Tudlig syra och ganska kraftiga tanniner. Lite spretigt och ungt vin som vinner på lagring. Ett mycket bra matvin redan nu!!

Straight from the cellar at 15 degrees quite light, cool and reserved. With rising temperature more obvious sweet berry-mix. Light tannins, good structure and a slightly saline minerality. Recommended!

Gredos (Madrid) Visit 1: Maraņones (Marañones Winery - Madrid Spain): So much better than what I presume a less than well stored bottle the night before. Noticeably fresher and less raisined. Light ruby in color. The nose has nice cherries with a mineral and saline note to it. Very clean with slight tannins on the palate. The cherries, minerals and slight saline come thru. Nice acidity if not pronounced. Pep said they struggle with trying to get enough acidity, but for me, given the style and grapes used, it was just fine. This is their entry level wine and I bought a bottle for under 20 Euros. Great value.

Various wines and sherries from Madrid Vacation; 7/4/2017-7/6/2017 (In and around Madrid): Ordered off the list at La Tragantúa Restaurant in Madrid. The food was great there, but the wine seemed a bit warm and indeed, this bottle did not show as good as a bottle drunk the next day at the winery. Still this was very good for around 22 Euros at the restaurant. Purple in color. The nose has black raspberries with some alcohol and a bit of raisin. Kind of Port-light. On the palate, there is a nice depth here. Some heat on the finish. Nice texture. Black cherries mostly. Worked well with a delicious mushroom risotto.

Past its prime - faded quickly with exposure to air.

Gross. 2 for 2 being horrible. I’ll never revisit this in any vintage.

Relatively light bodied but with good balance.

It’s a little weird and not really that good.

Big fragrant nose but rather light body. Nice and spicy with good length.

Herbal notes - light body good with fish or beef. Versatile - low tanins - drink young
