Garbo Negre 2018
Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThis gutsy, rich, internationally styled Montsant blends the region's increasingly-seen syrah with merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Destemmed grapes were fermented in stainless and then fermented in used French and American oak for 4 months. Ripe and dark fruited, with sweet kirsch, blackcurrant jam, roasted coffee, and sweet baking spice filling a round palate. Tannins are slight and sticky; welcome partnering this now with ribs. Not much sense of place here, sadly.Tasted: 30 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:CDN | $19.99 | 750ml | select private retailers and monopolies |
