Gran Recosind Criança Empordà Red Blend

This strangely beautiful wine! Saline, savory, slightly oxidized, surprising, all salient descriptors for a wine that tastes of olives & thyme, faded leather, and marjoram wafting up over scrambled eggs. I actually swooned...made in concrete, aged in that for 3 yrs, then barrel-aged 2 more years. Weird and definitely wonderful!

Knew nothing about this wine when i bought it and, honestly cant find much about it, at least not in english. Bordeaux meets Rioja in this wild catalan blend of cab, garnacha, tempranillo, and merlot. Dried cherries and plum, leather, briny black olive, and thyme. Full body and rich not grippy tannin. Definitely want to learn more about this DO.

Totally digging where this wine is right now. Full bodied and open/inviting. Lush dark red fruits with toasty oak and a long lingering finish. I will look for this again!

Great food wine. Begs for something rich.

Always a good one

Fresh, sun-ripened blackcherries and freshly-picked thyme are upheld by aged leather, black peppercorn, and subtle pinecone and mesquite bark. Fresh plums and dates gush onto the palate, which give way to ripe Kalamata olives, brine and wet basalt, velvety tannins coming in on a short finish. Full yet lithe, fresh but aged, it is a great sipper wine.

This wine has aged well. Beautiful garnet colour. Almond and dried fruits on the nose. Slight oxidation melts its tannins and gives this wine its nutty and savoury flavour. Be careful when decanting: it does not need much more oxygen. Drink now before it gets too oxidised. Pairs well with aged cheese.

Aromas of cherry, plum and leather. Rich cherry and vanilla, smoked.

Trying the local flavors of Costa Brava. You can taste the age on this one and it taste good!
