My 3,500th review here! Here is a very tasty one.
This is a great Spanish red blend. Showing red and blue fruits with earth, chocolates, wood, licorice, spices, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, vegetables, tobacco, peppercorn and espresso.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and Well balanced with nice complexity.
Nice and easy drinking. Spicy finish with fine grained tannins.
Good by itself or with food. Needs a couple of hours to open up properly.
This 5 year old is spicy and earthy. Delicious.
I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
A blend of old vines Carignan, Garnacha and Syrah. Kosher.
15% alcohol by volume.

This is a tasty red blend from Spain. Showing blue and black fruits with wood, licorice, earth, tobacco, coffee, dark chocolates, peppercorn, spices, vegetables, black tea and pencil lead.
Full bodied with medium plus acidity.
Very dry on the palate with a nice mouthfeel and nice complexity.
Still young and needs 3 to 5 years of bottle time to mature properly. I had this vintage less than a year ago, and it is already drinking better.

This is a nice Spanish Red Blend. Spicy, tangy and easy drinking. Showing mild complexity and mouthfeel.
Good by itself and better with food.
A little hot, but very drinkable. Might need a few years in the bottle to mature. I let it open up for 2 hours.
A good quality wine. Elegant and spicy. I'd like to revisit it in 3 years.
I had it blind, and called Priorat Garnacha/Syrah blend.
I paired it with cheeses, crackers and fresh berries.
