The entry-level red wine from Bernabeleva, 100% Garnacha, 40-80 year old vines in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, 13.5% ABV. Fragrant, soft and juicy, wonderful Grenache typicity, fresh and floral, more rose than violet, fresh red berries and an autumnal touch, peach, silky but with quite a firm kick of potent tannins, spicy minerals, pure and transparent, complete finish, good length. Quite a star with an improvised stew of squid, potatoes, onion, tomato, chicken stock, dried ham and smoked paprika. And some white Navaherreros 2015 (see previous note).

Reliable and enjoyable, crisp minerality and fruit. Love this style--excellent with food. Cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, delicious. QPR delight, especially if you are of a mind to Gamay, Bourgogne, mountain Nebbiolo.

Cork smelled strongly of mold. The 4 bottles purchased together were all bad.

Just as good as in November 2018, but this time it has a delightful character of bitter orange which wasn’t present in that earlier bottle.
