14.5%, D.O. Calatayud, S.COOP, Mendes, España.
An Eric Solomon "European Cellars" Selection, Charlotte, NC
704-358-1565, www.lasrocaswine.com
Black rubber "cork". (interesting. . .). Smooth, enchanting nose with hints of red fruit, camphour, and holiday spices. A bit of alcohol at finish of the nose. Tart and acid but balanced by sweet tones of bramble fruits. Tannins and smoke on the finish, but what a long lingering finish. Nice interesting wine for a great price. Really good example of the rich wine of Spain.
Note: This brand was sold to Gallo and is no longer imported by European Cellars. This vintage was however so I included that info.
