Bodegas Atalaya
Alaya Tierra Garnacha Tintorera
Popped and poured. It should probably be said that I’m typically not attracted to this style of wine (nearly 16% ABV) but this was undeniably fun and surprisingly interesting to drink. This was a gigantic wine; a veritable shipping container of blue and red fruits, a flash of scorched earth, baking spices, and licorice. Still tannic and the acid is somewhat hidden but present. Long finish. This has been drinking consistently well over the last two years and should continue to do so for the next few years.
