Gavilan 2008 Ribera del Duero

Gavilán 2008.

c.5 euros at the local supermarket.
G: Not bad...round taste, 7/10

Hombros

A present from Edu. He said he likes it.
Don t know the price. Good red fruity bouquet and smooth taste.
I: mmm...8.7 over 10
G: Not bad, at least is not so acid at the end. I would say 8/10
G: Can you smell the barrique?
I: mmm...not really, it is not very strong, but I like it.

Negre Banyalbufar

A Wine from Banyalbufar.
They are generally very expensive as the number of bottles produced is small.
Not necessarily for their quality. This was actually o. Bought at the Fiera Dulce for 8 euros.
I. 8/7.9
G. 7 Good bouquet, but a bit acid.

Riba Guda 100% garnacha

A very original wine. 100% garnacha (about 7 euros at the local food shop). Very spicy and original taste. Better to open 3-4 hours before drinking.
G: 8/10 especially for its original taste.
I: I think is a very difficult wine...I give a 7.8/10

Ambari Malvasia

A-(nother) surprise from Mallorca. A Malvasia (a grape nearly lost in the island) from a small village in the Sierra Norte. By M. at the local wine store (don t know the price yet). Drunk with a very good fideua made by R. A first sweet taste that disappears in the mouth to leave a dry sensation. Difficult to forget.
G: 9/10
I: I think an 8.5/10 at least

Gres Saint Paul 2005

A very good wine...a present from french friends.
It was only 3 years old but it tastes you can keep for looooong. Drunk with Fra, Rob, Ir and Gk.
G: 8-9/10 (probably 10/10 in few years).
I: very good...I would say 8.5/1o

Barceliño

Barceliño 2004. Mixed between Tempranillo and Garnache. Oak aged.

Finally an acceptable wine for a very little price (1.89euros, LiDL supermarket). Good oak taste. It needs a bit of air. I do not know how they manage to keep such a low price, but it tastes good....relatively to the price of course.

I: I liked it...on 10? probably 7
G: I agree.
