  Medium bodied. Black cherry, tobacco weed, herbs and minerals. Excellent acidity. Tannins resolved. Overall, this is in a good place.

  Popped and poured. This comes across a bit reserved and immature. I wish I had decanted it. That being said there is good potential. The wine shows sour cherries, blackberries, crushed rocks, herbs. Medium bodied, transparent and juicy with good acidity and mild tannins. I would give this a few more years to develop and it’s score will likely improve.

  Bottle #215 of total 2878 bottles. 15% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Luminous, somewhat translucent and quite dark ruby red color. Youthful, fruit-driven and quite primary nose with aromas of sweet black raspberries, some cherry tones, a little bit of licorice, light lactic notes of MLF, a hint of juicy boysenberry and a touch of sweet strawberry. Tons of fruit here, really. The wine is ripe, juicy and slightly sweet-toned on the palate with intense and quite primary flavors of strawberries, some sweet raspberries, a little bit of dank, grassy herbal character, light mineral notes of sun-baked rocks and a hint of black cherry. While the wine exhibits lots of ripeness and sunny fruit - further accentuated by the high alcohol - the overall feel is wonderfully balanced, firm and silky, thanks to the surprisingly high acidity and somewhat grippy medium-minus tannins. The finish is rich, juicy and gently grippy with lush flavors of strawberries, some ripe boysenberries, a little bit of sweet dark plummy fruit, light licorice tones and a hint of brambly black raspberry. The high alcohol makes the wine end on a somewhat warm note.
  
  A very lovely, juicy and youthful Garnacha with good sense of intensity, lots lush fruit and nice, firm structure. The overall feel is still very youthful and even quite primary, so it's easy to promise lots of future potential for this wine. These ripe yet fresh and vibrant high-altitude Garnachas just continue to be real winners, every time I taste them. And I guess this wine shows sense of place, since it didn't take us that long to guess this was a Spanish high-altitude Garnacha from Madrid or thereabouts. Lovely stuff, recommended. Let it wait for another year or two, just to let the wine settle down a bit.
