Parés Baltà Mas Elena Organic Wine 2012
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThis is a textural, savoury, ripe and rustic blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, wild fermented and with eight months in French oak. Dusky plum, blackberry, cloves, graphite, licorice and tobacco are marked with clouds of smoke and whisps of black pepper. Tannins are gritty/grippy enough to frame the density, as potent and warming as it is. The finish swells with peppery acidity. Would I place this as Penedès? Never. Does it taste like Penedès? Si. Best enjoyed with young lamb or spicy morcilla.Tasted: 11 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
