Songs perfect. Grenache.

Nose: muted. Hints of pink roses.

Palate: sweet strawberry fruit. Hints of spice around the edge of the palate. Some elegant blackberry as this opens up.

Likely needs a decant.

2016 Vintage. 15.2% Alcohol. A blend of 50% Garnacha, 33% Carignan, 17% Tempranillo.. Really nice fruit and acidity with a bit of tannin. Great job Edgar! — 4 years ago

Songs. El hijo del Pueblo. Cabernet Sauvignon.

Nose: lovely florals. Light Brett masks them. Bummer.

Palate: sort of closed. Hints of bright mid season cherry fruit. Hints of spice. Delicious. Not as dense as I would expect on open. A bit punchless.

Needs a decant.

So tart! Blueberries on the nose, and berry city — cranberry, raspberry, tart strawberry, blueberry — but with a nice minerality to even it out. A favorite. Had for Jason’s birthday weekend. — 4 years ago
