The Barque

Porta Regia

Old Vines Jumilla Monastrell 2015

Loved this so much I had to get more so it’s the equivalent of “girl who was that I need their number” in wine. It is rough in alcohol(14%) but also high in acid and fucking silky in tannins and the fruit is ripe but not jammy. So this is if you met a sassy blackberry on a hot summer day on a sunny street corner but the blackberry had a parasol so it was cool as a cucumber despite the hot circumstances. An elegant balanced blackberry sailing on a wicked oak barque. — 7 years ago
