Vi Sec Montsant Garnatxa Negra
Montsant, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
Blind tasting no3. I legitimately said French Grenache after a lot of deliberation, but it was still a complete guess at the end of it all. Spanish garnacha! I should have known. Ugh.
A cloudy and full medium ruby middle with garnet rim and quite a bit of color variation. Tons of jammy raspberry and tart cherry aromas. Red fruit for sure. Also picked up on cocoa and baking spices, heavy black pepper too. Low tannins, but HIGH acids, with red fruit and chocolate + potting soil. Very good.
