Bielsa, Garnacha, Vinas Viejas, Campo de Borja 2008

Bright purple/red.

Vinturi - bright, crushed black raspberry, earth, citrus/pepper nose.

Intensely citric in the mouth, with earth and herb undertones. Beaujolais substitute, with more weight and power. No fat, chewy and lean. Raspberry flavor kicks in late in the finish.

Day 4 - Even better now - nose is still bright, but deeper and shows some garrigue. Much more flesh in the mouth, though still has a citric underpinning. No doubt this will age very well (5-6 years). Thank God it has a real (not synthetic) cork. This rocks.

$11. Try this on Thanksgiving.
