Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos 2009-

Aged half in a stainless steel and half in French barriques glass-staining ruby. An explosive, flamboyantly perfumed bouquet exudes scents of blackberry, cherry cola, violet, and cracked pepper, plus a hint of smokiness. Deeply pitched flavors, of dark fruit and candied flowers reminds me of syrah, but red fruit notes emerge with air, confirming that this is a garnacha, not a syrah. Intense, focused and impressively persistent on the finish, which echoes the sweet red and dark fruit notes and leaves a subtle smoky quality.

100% tempranillo. An expansive bouquet offers scents of blueberries, violet, and smoky minerals. Fresh dark berry flavors display impressive depth and are brightened by notes of fresh flowers and mace. Finishes with excellent clarity and assertive lingering flavors of blue fruit and cherry compote.
