Decanted for 30 minutes. Really disappointed with what i've found here. Live bright red, glowing with a lilac rim. Very closed up wine! Alcohol very dominant on both nose and palate, even in colder temperatures. Scents of red meat and an unpleasant rot jabuticaba aroma. The good side here is a rose perfum that sporadicaly appears. Acid palate. Weak and short flavours have a tough time passing through the alcohol barrier. They are pepper, coffee and blackberry. Medium body. Finishes short and with a hint of cocoa. This red fails in many aspects, specially on its nose, but its drinkable. Definitely was expecting more of this grenache.

OK Garnacha. A bit astringent. Had fruit and some character.

Flawed bottle I think. Starting to worry about this wine and others from this importer.

BRa QPR. Fruktig, mindre sødmefull, krydret og med streit struktur.
