La Bruja de Rozas Sierra de Gredos Grenache

So much going on here

Violets and sweet funk in that nostril,
A wild ride of herbs, flowers, fruits - saline and cedar.

Transparent ruby magenta. Piquant notes of tamarind and exotic red fruits, with hints of white pepper and hot macadam. Red florals and red candy, then a juicy bit of saltwater taffy on the palate. Such a salty, juicy and delicious finish, with an herbal twist. Really stylistically unique and delicious. Tip top value.

Transparent red umber. Nose is muted. Fruit is salty and savory, but not in a pleasant way. There’s sweetness on the palate but it’s marred by a crackery quality that seems to be an off-malolactic expression.

Stinky but blows off, leaving only a bit of a rubbery aftertaste. Funky and herbal with real complexity, transparent and full of flavor. Just a little bitter on the finish.

Extraordinary fruitiness upfront, but the finish is like drinking battery acid. If you are looking for a super fruity wine, this is it, but the finish mars the wine. No elegance or subtlety here, but this wine would have been good if the acidity and high alcohol were reduced.

Preposterously good for its price point. Has a wonderful blackberry-tinged, brambly, feral Spanish garrigue thing going on on the nose. Burgundian approach to Grenache with minimal extraction and lively acids. Sweet, smokey, tart, salty and bright on the palate. An almost floral herbal aspect. Fantastic.

Needs a year.

Tasty but not for the long haul.

Spanish spice rack spilled on my berry pie.

A really off putting chemical taste in the finish
