- winoweenie - 07-15-2007 My 1st expidition into the world of Spanish juice. 50% Monastrell, 20% Tempranillo, 20% Syrah, and 10% Merlot. Deep ruby. Nose of black fruits, spice, and some flowers. All come over on the palate along with a tad of tar. Solid entry, nice center and a very surprising 3&3/4ths lapper finish. A definate case buy. Quite a revelation in that the P/Q is at the top of the heap IMHO. 88/91. 9.99 at Vintage. 145 ALC. ww - wondersofwine - 07-16-2007 Welcome to a new country of wine to explore, WW. Definitely still some bargains in the bottles and barrels of Espana. - dananne - 07-16-2007 Thanks for the notes on this one. I know Drew and I had been drinking through the '04 Carros, and I think there was a thread on it at some point, but I haven't yet picked up any of the '05s. Will have to change that in the near future. - TheEngineer - 07-16-2007 WW, now that you are over here look for 2005 Bodegas Vinos Pinol Ludovicus if you get a chance. At $8, its a pretty good QPR too and to me it was a pretty good drink! - brappy - 07-17-2007 Patrick Mata, the importer for both of these wines is the king of value-Spain. Was just told today I might be tasting with him in a couple of weeks. Either way, I know I'll be tasting with him in a couple of months. i still have both of these wines in the cellar. Thanks for the reminder... mark - winoweenie - 07-17-2007 Couldn't find any post on this so made me very-own. Eng: I'll pick up some of the Ludicrous today if I can find it.

[img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] - winoweenie - 07-18-2007 Haven't been able to buy any 50 cent CDs' since 74. Must be used or something! WW [This message has been edited by winoweenie (edited 07-18-2007).] - winoweenie - 04-03-2008 Along with the box of Petit Bocq I'd forgotten was a 6 pack of this lil beauty and also a 6-pack 04 Domaine Vallet cuvee Mulitiers which I haven't opened yet. Not much to add except I wish I'd gotten a box or so. Had one last nite with American Idol and it did just fine. Made another Weener "fat finger" on the alc as it's 14%. Musta' forgot to hit the shift key. WW |
