2003 Las Rocas de San Alejandro Garnacha

[brappy]

Yes, Tons of fruit in the regular bottling. Although one dimensional, is a great drink. The Old Vines is not much different than the regular.

On to the '05s which should be released soon. Tasted those yesterday. The regular bottling should be released sometime in March and the old vines in September or somewhere near that date. The old vines is pretty spectacular but certainly needs more bottle age. If You're a lover of 100% Garnacha, then for the price, it's hard to do better. Although for the '05s, I suggest the old vines.

I have to admit my palate is changing somewhat. I love grenache but anymore enjoy it in a blend moreso. Even if the grenache is the majority grape, I just want a little more complexity....... Something more to think about. Just a thought...
