Winferno in Umeå (Stöcksjö, Umeå): Winner of the flight with 5/9 votes. Black-red. Very young feeling on the nose, with dark, black fruits and a superbly rich backdrop of the spicey-herbal Garnacha and Cariñena aromas that come from 80- to 100-year-old vines. Same in the mouth, rounded up with beautiful chocolate, plums and loads more Grenache spices. Not a sweet feeling.
If you prefer your wines on the fruit, you will really find it is in its stride. If you prefer more mature wines, maybe waiting for another 10 years is a minimum.
My wine - no guess.

Very sweet nose, concentrate wine full bodied with oak being integrated but present, full of licorice dense fruit and good structure. A new world-style wine. Very satisfying.

Cellier Wine Fair (Atheneum Intercontinental Hotel, Athens, Greece.): One of the best reds of the show. Dark purple. Sweet nose of ripe blackberry, sweet spice, sour cherry jam and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, dense and creamy with velvety tannins and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste. Very good value given the quality.
