2012 Quinta de la Rosa

Post by LGTrotter »

Very much pop and pour, cellar cool which helps. Really delicious, soft and sweet with easy tannins. Quite light in the mouth with a touch of table wine in the style which makes it slide down all too easily. Very dark in colour with a thick presence in the glass. Lots of vanilla on the nose and something like drinking chocolate. There is an overall flavour which might be the grape varieties or how it is made but I am beguiled, ensorcelled, even.

Points, definitely, but I am not sure how many. I will go a random 89. No idea of future development.
