| OLD VINE AMETHYST EDITION GARNACHA CRIANZA 2023 DOP Carinena, Spain |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LUIS MARIN |
| Deep bright purple red colour. Very gently spicy, ripe, plummy nose with some minerally sandalwood notes. Dry medium plus bodied, fairly intense, bright, ripe, plum-strawberry flavours with a lingering, well balanced, gently cedary, well-textured finish. This versatile, very well-priced, solid, crowd-pleasing 100% old-vine Garnacha was grown at 800m. It was aged for 6 months in French oak and has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L2605041 on the back label. Great with grilled meats and sausages hot off the BBQ, |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2023 Crianza Amethyst Edition is 100% Garnacha from old vines in Cariñena, Aragón. Made in a fresher style than this producer's other offerings, it opens with hops, herbs and cherries, along with a subtle floral note atop a mature backdrop. Broad yet agile and juicy, this is a fine example amongst its peers. Drinking window: 2025-2035. Score - 91 (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, May 22, 2025) |
