Food pairing
Salads, premium Jamon, dishes with white truffles.
My qualities
Color: bright, vibrant, purple-vermillion and flashes of crimson, all harking back to the grape – the unicorn-like garnacha tintorera…
Aromas: violets mingle with blackberries and blueberries and spices; there is crunchy red apple skin and that whiff of graphite. Background laurel leaf and smoked or cured beef.
Palate: red and dark berries are the fruit component, but the powdery, superfine tannins drag the attention away to dryness and the savoury; then a clean and bright line of acid swishes through before the graphite texture returns at palate’s end. It is a beautifully composed roller-coaster, if such a thing might be imagined.
