Salanques: Poured into a decanter several hours prior and returned to the bottle just before dinner. The 2007 “Salanques” pours, a deep garnet color with a near opaque, core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and slightly desiccated red and dark fruits, red cherries, blackberries, dried red flowers, well-oiled leather, rocky minerals, light baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (that is mostly integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Showing remarkable elegance; this is a delicious, gorgeous Priorat that is currently firing on all cylinders. A lovely pairing with paella a variety of traditional Spanish tapas. Drink now and over the next 10 years. — a month ago
She’s deep and dark, full of ink and dried blackberry, but there’s something playful here—this wine is quintessential perky-goth wheee you’re like “are they that morbid or is that a smile I just saw on the dance floor when Annie Lennox started playing”? Full of chocolate and dried and stewed berries but also fresh herbs. Par for the course 15% abv but that’s tame in Amarone-land. I like this a lot. Now making dinner so the 15% doesn’t have its way with me before there is food in my belly. — 2 months ago
