March 23, 2023 - I had high expectations - I have heard so much about Comando G and inexplicably ignored them. Their ambition to make the world's best Garnacha, their desire to revitalise a forgotten region, high altitude, their love for ancient vines... So I bought one of their more affordable wines, though this isn't cheap. There's no doubt in my mind this is really quite unique. Intensely mineral, almost metallic. Smoky, like burning embers, or bacon. Mmm... More brown tinges than garnet. Light, lofty. Burgundian, serious, poised, balanced beautifully between acidity, tannin and subtle fruit. Rain from a late summer storm on wet stones and mineral soils after a blisteringly hot, dry day. An austere interpretation of Garnacha - perhaps the true "essence" of Garnacha. Interesting debate. What a wine, my friends, such elegance and gravitas. Wonderful.
