Community Tasting Notes (1) Avg Score: 97 points

  • And after valuing a homemade wine cellar, a single bottle shared with friends. Decanted for three hours and still very closed both in the mouth and nose. Another expensive bottle of exclusive production, with the best scores and a price in line with such a marketing operation, although this time from up to fifteen different plots. The concentration raised to the nth power. A balsamic wine with notes of licorice, coffee, black pepper, wild black berries or Chinese ink.
    Without a doubt there is elegance and a good level of complexity that is what really interests Benjamin Romeo but the international style with too much power and a lot of energy, the absence of sense of the terroir (we're talking no less than San Vicente) and the abuse of French oak to try to soften the final result will never make it one of my reference Rioja wines. I'm sorry.

    Y después de valorar una bodeguita casera, una única botella compartida con amigos. Decantada por espacio de tres horas y aún así muy cerrada tanto en boca como en nariz. Otra cara botella de elaboración exclusiva, con las mejores puntuaciones y un precio en consonancia a semejante operación de marketing, aunque en esta ocasión procedente de hasta quince parcelas diferentes. La concentración elevada a la enésima potencia. Un vino balsámico con notas de regaliz, café, pimienta negra, bayas negras silvestres o tinta china.
    Sin duda hay elegancia y un buen nivel de complejidad que es lo que realmente le interesa a Benjamín Romeo pero el estilo internacional con demasiada potencia y mucha energía, la ausencia de sentido del terruño (hablamos nada menos que de San Vicente) y el abuso del roble francés para intentar suavizar el resultado final no lo van a convertir jamás en uno de mis vinos de Rioja de referencia. Lo siento.
