Reserva Gran Coronas Black Label Penedès Cabernet Sauvignon

Can’t stop drinking these, glad I have a good bunch. Sorry good and complex. Worth finding.

Garnet centre with wide terracotta rim , slightly hazy with very fine sediment. Quite a lot of spice and sun kissed dried plum and blackberry fruit , tobacco and sous bois, slight balsamic notes . On the palate it fills out well with round dried dark fruits , spiced plum, good acidity , slightly rusty tannin and decent length . Still showing well and continued to performed well over 3-4 hours, but drink now and over the next 5 years.

Deep cassis, plumb, smokey, floral. Sweet dark fruit on the palate, fine tannins. Very Bordeaux in style.

Crazy wine, and probably the most welcome departure from the Syrah-Fest of January '19. I was expecting a wine with a tiny bit of fruit but mostly notes reminiscent of a cigarette being put out in it. Whoah Mama! If blindfolded, there is no way I would have guessed that this was 100% cabernet from Spain, and 40 year old cabernet from Spain at that! Still had a lot of Blackberry on the front, but also hints of black tea, rhubarb. Leather and tobacco in the middle into the Finish. But this one finishes with a lot of black youthful fruit that is reminiscent of a wine that may have 10 years of age on it. Completely and totally awed.

Great nose floral and slightly funky still holding well for a 78

Held up better than expected still very blackberry and cherry forward. Nice paired with a sturdy cheese
