Community Tasting Notes 10

  August 26, 2023 - Bit of funk to the nose: dark, wild fruit, barnyard, creosote. Palate is tight: sour cherry, leather, blood orange and raspberry. With air, funk largely burned off and the fruit pulled back some, but so did the leather, and what was left was a fine but not extraordinary wine with a savory, herb character and a slightly salty finish.
  
  Cork back in, fridge overnight. Better the second day, either from the air or the lower serving temperature.

  January 22, 2023 - Pretty funky for us. One more bottle and will try in several years. Cannot recommend.

  October 9, 2022 - A lot of wine for the price. Rich full body, nice nose, long on the palate. I believe that it is still young and will develop into an even nicer wine. I wish I had more!

  June 4, 2022 - In der Nase schwarze Früchte. Im Mund auch diese Noten von Brombeeren und Schwarzkirschen, verbunden mit deutlichen, aber gut eingebundenen Holztönen. Eine frische Säure trägt den durchaus spürbaren Alkohol (15.5%), wodurch der Wein in keiner Weise plump daherkommt. Rund, füllig und saftig ist diese Cuvee aus Garnacha, Syrah und Mazuelo. Schon ein ziemlich kräftiger Brocken, aber nie langweilig oder eindimensional alkoholisch. Für das Geld (13 Euro) ein sehr schöner Wein.

  December 30, 2021 - Great QPR. Borsao turns out great Grenache, and this — plus a healthy serving of Syrah — is no different. A bit of heat with the alcohol % (stated 15.5%!!!) but overall it’s well balanced.
