Note di degustazione
All old vine Garnacha that’s aged for 4 months in barrel, the 2009 Tres Picos is a full scaled, ripe wine that exhibits rich blackberry and baked cherry fruits, vanilla, and exotic spice aromas on the nose. Straight forward, but beautifully fruited and textured, this medium to full bodied wine is well balanced and finished with good length and minerality on the finish. It will be a crowd pleaser over the next 3-5 years.

The flagship of this portfolio is the perennially outstanding Tres Picos. The 2008 Tres Picos is 100% Garnacha old vines in which 50% was aged in tank and 50% in French oak for 10 months. It gives up a compelling nose of black cherry fruit that jumps from the glass along with earth and mineral notes. Plush on the palate bordering on voluptuous, this pleasure-bent, full-flavored effort will drink well for another 3-4 years although few will be able to resist its charms for that long. Bodegas Borsao has long been known for high quality value-priced wines and the current releases are no exception. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
Opaque purple. Exotically perfumed bouquet of dark berry preserves, smoky minerals, potpourri and Indian spices, with a strong note of cracked pepper; smells like a high-end northern Rhone wine. Very spicy and tightly focused, offering juicy red and dark berry flavors and sexy notes of candied flowers and cocoa powder. Finishes with a wallop of sweet red berries and lingering, seductive spiciness; as ridiculous a value as one can find these days. The yield for this wine was reportedly under two tons per acre.
