Blind tasting of six pinots - or pinot “impostors”. Everyone liked this Spanish blend with pronounced menthol.

Vino muy potente y con un gran nivel alcohólico, en nariz frutas rojas y compotas maduras y también un tostado pronunciado. En boca rico y potente final complejo y con gran secante , es bastante tánico.

Ett smäll-på-käften-vin. Intensiv mörk frukt. Rejäla, men sammetslena, tanniner. Tydlig mineralton i form av blyerts och våt jord. Riktigt bra, och för den pengen ett kap. Något tydlig alkohol bara (15%!).

Interesting Monsant Blend, great red fruit and complex aromas of the crianza process: leather, tobaco and chocolate!

Old vintage of carinena/garnacha/syrah blend that I had stashed in the bottom of the rack. Still bright, fresh and high-toned. Should be solid match for Chinese food.

Still young with Mid Tannins and acidity. Dark fruit and herbal notes. Could be fine in 5 years but still approachable today.

Barnyard funk on the nose. Starts with tart red fruit, blackberry, and spice on the palate then transitions to heavier spice, cocoa, black tea and tobacco notes. Finishes with grippy tannins and a nice acid sizzle. Solid and well balance, bring on the tapas.
