Bodegas Frontonio
Microcósmico Garnacha
What a beauty! More ruby than inky in color, opaque with gorgeous nose of cherry, strawberry & rhubarb - perfectly ripe fruit with white pepper, Earth & dusty accents. Reminds me of some old vine Southern Rhône Grenache... silky suave lively acidity but not juicy. Spot on & exciting find from Aragon. $15 (on close out)

Underripe purple plum skins. Bone dry. Perhaps I need creamy cheese to soften this. This is a naked tree, shimmering with ice on a lonely road on a crackling cold night. This is glass two so- should be open now.....
