Today we tasted through some wines from a new importer..mostly spanish.
German Gilabert Cava nv bone dry..lots of acidity and not a lot of the burnt aspirin that comes from the usual cava. fun label too
Vevi Rueda Spain 2007 grassy and melon and big for a light summer white. willbe in the corner when it comes in.
Masia d Bielsa Rose 2007 old vine garanche tank fermented...dark red rose...with dark flavors..long lush finish for rose.
Bielsa Garnacha 2007 nose a little tinny which can come from youth or the tank fermentation this wine tastes of gamay lots of pepper but no flavor really predominates or stays around for a long time.
Albiker Rioja 2007 90pt parker...another of the tank fermented...purple color.. new world aromas in an old world wine.
Kirios de Aprada 2005 Ribero Duero black fruit on the nose and palate..very rustic...oldworld style. lots of tannin and a hard harsh finish. I usually like Ribero and this one didnt do it for me.'
Pasamonte Garnache 2005 from Valencia.. lovely rose nose...a little baconfat.. intense and full flavors...very nice
Raices de Aza Ribero del Duero 2004 highly extracted pretty flowery nose. very tight and can use some ageing but I think it has potential.
Mas Negre Priorat 2005 spanish stink.. lots of grip and acidity...long finish of dark fruits and walknut... great wine region and shows has agibility.
La Mia(the mask) Jumilla Monastrell 2005 more coffee on the nose with soy and salt on the palate... a touch of bing cherry at the end with more earth...very interesting.
Carasol Serrano 2006 cab/monastrell/carignane garnet color..opaque soft but acidity..not sure if I like this one.
Essencia de Monte organic monastrell lots of blackberry and some tar.. needs time very tight.
Peigue Tinto Mencia or cab franc. purple in the glass...slate and rocks on the nose...cinnamon and lavender on the palate.. quick finish though... interesting.
