2000 Quinta de la Rosa

Post by AHB » 21:29 Fri 23 Apr 2010

Evolving red colour, slight orange showing on the rim. There is a harsh note on the nose over pleasant stewed redcurrant. Sweet impact, gentle fruit and soft tannins; a lovely fruit presence and a delightful aftertaste. An elegant style of wine that will reward another 5-10 years but probably not much longer. 85/100. Drunk 19 April 2010.
