Wine Tasting 7: 2003 Abrazo Garnacha from Spain

Another bargain find from the BC liquor store. Sorry no more available but I have to show you buying needs research and I can give you tips in the future if you trust me. Grenache/garancha is probably the mostly planted grape on earth. The grape is light in colour and tannin but high in alcohol and has profound natural sweetness. Most grenache were gone into fortified dessert wines as well as rose or a major component in blending. The Abrazo is typically lighter red in colour and saw little wood maturation. Profound nose of cotton candy, dark cherry liqueur or kirsch mixed with black plum brandy with a whaff of rose water, sweet seaweed and southern French mixed herb. This medium body wine is round and soft in tannin. A juicy offer but leaves a long finish that laced with dark chocolate and subtle white pepper. A top grade quaffer indeed. This wine naturally accompanies with a light tomato sauced based dish and pizza. 88-90 points. Tasted 27 November 2006 by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

sicilian flag. fucker

[michaelyblam]

I am afraid the Sicilian flag consists of a yellow and a red triangle but it's the mirror image of the label here (The Red Cross flag and Swiss flag as an analogy is similar so are the Nazi symbol vs. the Buddist symbol). The Abrazo is from the Carinena region of Spain which is in the North West corner just south of the border from France. BTY, please refrain from using word like fuxker...it only degrades yourself.
