2006 Alaia, Dehesa de Rubiales, Castilla y Leon, Spanien

IMG_1516

Das Etikett mit dem Mutter-Kind Motiv sieht zwar aus als ob es mit meinem alten Bubblejet Drucker erstellt wurde, aber Hauptsache der Inhalt stimmt. Es handelt sich dabei um 50% Prieto Picudo -eine mir bis dato umbekannte Rebsorte- sowie Tempranillo und 5% Merlot, aus Castilla y Leon stammend und abgefüllt von der Grupo Galiciano. Um es vorweg zu nehmen, für unter 10 Euro ist das ein Wein so richtig nach meinem Geschmack.

1995 Cvne Reserva, Rioja

IMG_2055

Die Farbe dieses CVNE erinnert an dunkles Ziegelrot, das aber zum Rand hin heller wird. Die Nase zeigt sich anfangs zwar beerig aber auch mit leicht portiger-madeirisierter Note.

Nach einer halben Stunden verfliegt diese und der Wein riecht prall nach reifen Brombeeren und leicht nach Gewürzen wie Nelke und einer Prise Pfeffer. Read the rest of this entry »

2006 Emilio Moro, Ribera Del Duero

IMG_1068

Sehr dunkle aber auch sehr schöne brillante Farbe die leicht in ein leuchtendes Fuchsia geht. Nase von in Vanille eingelegten Himbeeren: Ein sehr süßlicher Eindruck mittlerer Intensität.

Mittleres Gewicht am Gaumen, noch leicht adstringierend, aber mit enormer Hitze im Finish – die 14,5% merkt man sofort – soll diese über eine eher mittelmäßige Länge hinwegtäuschen? Read the rest of this entry »

V’06 Valtosca Syrah, Jumilla, Spain

IMG_0870

Superb color: purple nearly fading into a pink, with brilliance and insinuating purity; I would nearly say a typical Syrah color if I was a pro wine critic. Intense nose of Read the rest of this entry »

Spanish Reds Blind Tasting 2009 (ex Rioja & Ribera)

You and I know it; this blog calling itself a blind tasting blog recently generated far too many posts about food stalls and other dispensable topics digressing far away from the serious duty it bears to throw light on the successful and less successful outcomes of the art of winemaking. Yuck :=) … What I actually wanted to say is that it was really time again for a post justifying the name of this blog. And luckily it occurred that our friend Nick offered to host a blind tasting of Spanish red wines. There were 2 simple rules to follow: the bottles shouldn’t stem from any of the 2 main wine regions (Rioja and Ribera) and they shouldn’t be too old. No problem! Offer accepted! Naturally, as abiding by the official wine tasting protocol, all the bottles were properly covered and mixed before the tasting, thus allowing a fair comparison.

2002 Vietor y Leon Reserva, Valdepenas – Beautiful and brilliant colour. Nose is rather discrete, first only some hints of spice, later some plum fruit but never really getting intensive. Palate starts with light vanilla a.k.a. traces of barrel wood, goes on with Read the rest of this entry »

Spanish Reds Blind Tasting

After many weeks we finally gathered again for a genuine blind tasting round. This means that we agreed on a topic – Spanish Reds from the nineties on – and then covered the labels. The big guessing fun game could begin.

Our first wine was at the same time the oldest of five bottles. We all guessed that. In fact it had a rather light red colour with a slight brown hue at the edges. The 1995 Medina Del Campo from Valcruzal was at best medium bodied. Its taste was Read the rest of this entry »
