2002 Tres Picos Garnacha Borsao

[Innkeeper]

Popped an '04 today for lunchtime dinner. Paid a whopping $16 for it a rather pricy upscale joint in Portsmouth that my brother suggested called Ceres Street Wine Merchants.

Regardless of price this is still a very nice wine, even at 14.5% alcohol. Gives losta berries on the nose and upfront. Concentrated black and strawberries, along with plums, shoeleather, oak, and Borsao dirt course the palate. The finish is very pleasant and lengthy.

Matched it with loin ends teriyaki, rice pilaf, and zucchini with tomatoes and things. All very nice with an almost perfect match.
