- hotwine - 01-15-2008 Color of a PN or Barbaresco, A bit pruny on the nose, with stewed fruit, faint earth and underbrush. Lively fruit on the palate, bright red, lip-smacking finish. Too small a bottle. 12.5% alc/vol and about $10. With tamales in cheese sauce, Spanish rice, refried beans. Good QPR. - dananne - 01-16-2008 Good choice with tamales. Old Vine Garnacha works well for a pairing, too. This is quite old for a Crianza, so I'm surprised it held up this well. Sounds like a nice Tueday evening! Reservas from '96 are drinking very well right now, BTW. - TheEngineer - 01-16-2008 It's amazing how nice wines always feel like 500mL bottles and not so great stuff feel like 1L bottles. - hotwine - 01-16-2008 Haven't seen any Reservas locally in over a year. Still lookin'. |
