Jiménez-Landi
Las Iruelas El Tiemblo Garnacha
The 2015 Daniel Gomez Jimenez Landi Las Iruelas is exotic and spellbinding from the first tilt of the glass, showing a bouquet of dried florals, crushed strawberries, and a dusting of Christmas spice, as it develops more complexity in the glass, with white smoke minerality, hints of black pepper, and leaning now toward the black fruit spectrum. It envelopes the palate in soft textures, deceiving at first, as a mix of tart red berry fruit descends upon the senses, further complicated by saturating minerals and savory spice, cheeks puckering from brisk acids as an air of sweet violet florals amass toward the close. The finish is long and spicy, with fine tannins clenching with a lasting twang of blackberry and citrus. Wow!
