Celler de Capcanes is a modern cooperative in the province of Tarragona. Founded in 1933. Aromas of hot wet bitumen road with mint, menthol, herbs. After a while in the decanter a ripe red fruited perfume and a touch of tar. No sign of raspberry which one often gets with new world Grenache. A medium to full bodied palate. The following night the palate was a little “blocky” without much nuance. I’m somewhat non-plussed for the price and reputation. 100% Garnacha; one of the 1001 Wines; approximately 3000 bottles made. Imported into Australia by the wonderfully named “The Spanish Acquisition “. Postscript: The name derives from when the vineyards were abandoned and taken over by goats (cabra means goat). — 5 years ago
Surprisingly dark color. A bit on the sweeter side until the wine opens up. But good balance with nice level of acidity. Enjoy now — 8 years ago

Nice earthiness to it. — 10 years ago
Whiff of strawberries and smoky wood, tastes of ripe blackberries, subtle salinity, full-bodied with smooth tannins, then a long umami finish. Delicious with manchego and queso de cabra. — 4 years ago

Una añada, calificada como excelente, que presentan una buena intensidad colorante, importantes notas frutales en nariz y un potencial tánico alto en boca con taninos dulces que indican la buena maduración fenólica de las bayas.
Excelente para un buen queso de Cabra o un buen plato de fiambre... — 8 years ago
Drink it all. Soft tannins, amazing with Cana de Cabra or Tête de Moine

Château Poujeaux has been my go-to Bordeaux for its fantastic value. The 1995 vintage is no exception. Amazing nose with notes of crushed red pepper, dried plum, thyme, leather, and cured meat. Its powerful tannins has mellowed down considerably. Enjoy with aged mild cheese such as Cabra al Vino. For cured meat, it goes well with something less salty such as Jamón ibérico. — 9 years ago

A la vista un Champagne amarillo oro transparente y elegante con burbujas grandes y centradas, en nariz notas de mantequilla, pan tostado, lima, piña, manzana verde, miel y en boca todas las anteriores pero resalta la manzana verde y la miel. Excelente champagne nada seco. Maride con palomitas de maíz con mantequilla, caramelo y queso, queso cremoso de cabra y todo muy rico — 7 years ago

Excelente vino para combinar con carne de caza o quesos (diría que de cabra)... — 9 years ago
Color rojo carmesí de intensidad y profundidad media con lágrimas medias que parecieran indicar dulzor. Muy buena acidez que resalta la frescura, con taninos de mediana intensidad redondeados. Buenos para acompañar quesos (cabra, madurados) o carnes con mediano nivel de grasa. Algo afrutado, esencia a minerales y humedad. — 9 years ago
Wow this is delicious! Dark fruits and spicy. Drinking with Cana de cabra cheese, cured black olives, and roasted garlic. Yum — 10 years ago
