Gran Viu Finca Santiaga Garnacha Blend
#AgedWineTuesday
Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of blueberries, black currants, black cherries, wood, licorice, light vanilla, spices, light vegetables, tobacco, coffee, light vinaigrette and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, blueberries, cloves, oak, tobacco leaf, vanilla, spices, espresso, vegetables, earth and peppercorn.

This is a great surprise. This 16 year old Spanish red is drinking very nicely now.
Showing nice complexity with an elegant mouthfeel. Alcohol is very integrated by now, although very high.
Thank you David and Elvira for sharing this with me.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly.
Good by itself or with food, and paired wonderfully with the Lamb chops.

Nov 15th, 2016Not a bad wine. No idea where or when I bought it. Some refreshing tartness. Not a high end wine, but pleasant to drink

Dec 1st, 2023Plum, blueberry, a touch of cedar/camphor and a very long smooth finish. This is a delicious offering in the 2004 vintage… fully mature and ready to enjoy…
