Community Tasting Notes 4

    October 6, 2023 - Eðalklúbbur, haustsmakk #2 2023 (Hlíðarás 10): Vínið fékk eina klst. í loftun fyrir smakk.
    Mjög ljós litur. Svipaður og á Vino da Finca víninu.
    Í nefi þá voru nánast kampavínstónar í byrjun. Ger, deiglykt. En síðan komu grænir tónar, kryddtónar, negull og blómalykt, fljólur. Þægilegur ilmur.
    Í munni: Ferskt. Ekki mikið eikað. Mikill ávöxtur. Talað var um kalt bragð, myntu. Svo komu fram dekkri tónar, tjara, eik og brunatónar.
    Líklega eru notaðir heilir klasar í þetta vín því þarna komu fram grænir tónar. Ágætis vín sem mér fannst standa sig svipað og Vina da Finca. Þetta er þó talsvert dýrara eða á 44€

    February 17, 2022 - What ANDREASMUC says below. A very fine balance between juniper berry and unripe strawberry with that touch of umami on the nose. At the under 15 € I paid for it, the palate's perfectly dry elegance of unripe red forest berries, straightforwardness and integration punches clearly above the price level. Would buy again.

    This was killing a baby, and I am closing the drinking window in 2030 for now.

    January 2, 2022 - 90% Monastrell, 10% Garnacha, 14,5%.

    Schwarzrote, gerade noch etwas transparente Farbe.

    Komplexe Nase — reife rote Frucht, herbe Kirsche, saure Zwetschge, etwas Balsamico, Orange, Nelke, weiche Kräuter.

    Am Gaumen dichte Textur, das Tannin ist jetzt schon sehr fein, nimmt aber zusammen mit dem satten Extrakt alles ein, es ist aber nicht austrocknend, sondern bleibt dennoch saftig und trinkig. Eine dezente, feine Säure und vor allem ausgeprägte kreidig-steinige Mineralität geben Struktur, so dass der Wein trotz seiner Fülle und Intensität elegant bleibt und nicht breit wird. Sehr langes mineralisches Finale. (93-94+)

    March 19, 2021 - Viendo mis notas de cata en Verema encuentro una nota de cata correspondiente a este vino de la añada 1998. En aquel momento los vinos de José María Vicente mostraban ya el enorme potencial de Jumilla, con monastrells sobre un suelo complicado, lleno de pedruscos y con un clima mediterráneo extremo. Han pasado 20 años y sus vinos han ganado en presencia e inmediatez, frente a aquellos taninos robustos que solo el tiempo domaba este Las Gravas muestra notable amabilidad y una estructura mucho más ligera, si bien no menos firme. Hay materia pero la fruta también ha ganado en frescura. Con algún matiz floral y sensaciones especiadas acompañando la fruta.
