Las Rocas, Garnacha, Catalayud (Spain) 2006

Deep red/purple.

Vinturi - deep earth/meat/citrus nose. Smells even more serious than usual. Iron shows late.

Riper black fruit here along with typical grapefruit zest. Entry and mid-palate show some flesh. Intense, bracing, citrus chew on the ridiculously (for the $$) long finish. Iron shows again.

$12 Is there a better "real wine" value? I wish they'd screwcap this, or use twin top corks. Synthetic (supremekork) currently.
