Bodega Comando

Rumbo al Norte Garnacha

9.6

So many things in this wine. Piercing nose of jam and iron. Cloudy and medium in color. Balanced palate with great length and rich texture. Blood wine of great intensity. Like Rayas. A baby at 10 years. From magnum. Epic wine. — 11 days ago

9.2

Naked and transparent, but stands firm with full confidence.
Lovely perfume of red fresh berries, fresh herbs and a red floral and peppermint-lift and orange blossom, over a platform of undergrowth
, nutmeg and mother rock.
Enters the room somewhat shy on the palate, but soon builds character and confidence over the palate. A stoney minerality and good acidity brings nerve and tension over an expansive mid palate with a strong fatigue through a rather long finish. Makeup is not needed on true beauty,
And yea it could easily be mistaken for A Gredos Garnacha from Bernabeleva, Comando G, Land and the likes.
Paired with chicken breast with ndjuja smeared under the skin, roast potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes, and a chicken- tarragon velouté
