Although my love for food is nearly overwhelming, my adoration of wine is pretty damn intense. And cheese, and...um, sushi...so, I spread the love around. A good friend dragged this bottle out of his well-stocked cellar and I couldn't stop thinking about it. If you can find it, buy it. It'll make you wish that rioja flowed from the tap rather than plain old H2O.2001 Granja Nuestra Senora de Remelluri Rioja Tinto
" Bright, dark red. Distinctly sauvage aromas of plum, leather and minerals, with a whiff of the barnyard. Then fat, sweet and velvety, with the leathery quality carrying through on the palate. Offers a suave texture and plenty of personality, but this will not be for the fainthearted. Finishes broad and quite long, with substantial but sweet tannins."
Thanks www.wineaccess.com, you make me feel like dancing.
I thought it was big, juicy, velvet blackberries that drove me to drink. Long finish, smooth as silk. Woohoo.
