Smells a little of those candied cigarettes or the baseball card stick back in the day..
Starts of as a little lighter style of Grenache, until the grape skins kick in - then the onslaught of basil, hay, licorice, with a unripe raspberry and some bitter Eastern European plum.
A bold sipper, in that there is much to talk about, especially while chewing on the acidity.
Wine from Madrid., a city I hope to see again..

Rustic, earthy, spice driven Garnacha with lighter extract and focused frame. Spiced red berries and apple skin, muddled cherry, potpourri, brett (clove, barnyard), black rocks, damp cellar. Really enjoy the palate. There’s significant VA and some oxidative notes (nuttiness) that bite into its aromatic character. Structurally gorgeous, linear, great dimension of tannin and acidity, lengthy and spiced from front to back.

What an awesome nose. Reminds me of other natural garnachas I’ve had. Bright funky cranberry and gamey notes. Delicate spice, lovely purity on the palate with some nice staunch tannins. Lip smacking juicy fruit. Funky but not overtly so.

Really loved this. Old vines. Lighter style Grenache but truly natural unadulterated profile. Soft tannins and nice acidity.

This one was perplexing. Light Grenache at 15 percent alc. Not much complexity.
