Community Tasting Notes 7

  December 16, 2015 - This is rather a modern styled red - I was immediately struck by the combination of perfectly ripe fruit and bitter chocolate oak notes on the nose. The palate had good depth and weight, nice texture, fine tannins, the fact it is garnacha was betrayed by a subtle crunchiness and juiciness to the fruit. It was fantastic after some time in the glass and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Not perhaps for Rioja purists (would I have chosen it as Rioja in a blind lineup? Hard to say) but a delicious red nonetheless.

  September 9, 2015 - Are you comndening Baigorri just because it's a modern brand? IMHO you've to try something like this one. At least after six years.
  Intensely aromatic of liquorice, black fruits, graphite and well-integrated wood.
  On the mouth it's a little alcoholic still, I liked its mineral, dense backbone. Pitifully my last bottle.
  
  ¿Condenas a Baigorri por ser una bodega moderna? En mi modesta opinión tienes que dar una oportunidad a esto. Al menos después de seis años.
  Intensamente aromática a regaliz, frutos negros, grafito y madera bien integrada.
  En boca todavia se nota un poco el alcohol aunque me encantó ese espinazo denso y mineral.
  Lamentablemente es mi última botella.

  May 16, 2014 - Time is passing and going and this 100% Grenache wine is ageing right but nothing glorious after all.
  Dark purple colour.
  Intensely aromatic of blueberries, pastry shop and something artificial plastic flavour.
  Better performance on the palate with blueberries again plus a nice acidity balance with an opulent structure.
  Some sediments.
  Last bottle of the pack for the next year.
  
  El tiempo pasa y este vino 100% garnacha está envejeciendo bien pero sin nada glorioso.
  De color púrpura profundo.
  Intensamente aromática a arándanos azules, pastelería y algo artificial a plástico.
  Mejor comportamiento en boca con de nuevo arándanos junto con a una abundante acidez y una opulenta estructura.
  Algunos sedimentos.
  La última botella del envío para el próximo año.

  October 15, 2013 - If compared with last Grenache of past weekend, this one was richer, opulent and firmer.
  Seriously concentrated, on the palate showed a performance closer more to a RdD than a Rioja. Only that vivid acidity reflected its origin.
  Nose was dominated by sandalwood. Little monolithic.
  Still a nice bottle.
  
  Comparada con la última garnacha del pasado fin de semana, está era más abundante, opulenta y firme.
  Seriamente concentrada, en boca mostró unas formas más cercanas a un RdD que a un Rioja. Sólo esa viva acidez reflejaba su origen.
  La nariz estaba dominada por el sándalo. Un poco monolítica.
  Todavía una bella botella

  September 15, 2012 - That red colour I really appreciate.
  Very long legs, quite rich and alcoholic yet it is easy to drink.
  Flamboyant nose with cherry-coke, plums and mineral notes.
  Palate is totally resolved and has potential to age very well.
  Rioja Grenache, modern style.
  
  Tiene ese color rojo que me encanta.
  Lágrimas muy vivas, bien abundante y alcohólico a pesar de que se deja beber.
  Rimbombante nariz con cola de cereza, ciruelas y notas minerales.
  En boca se muestra resuelto y tiene potencial para envejecer bien.
  Garnacha de la Rioja de estilo moderno.
