Don Florencio Tarragona
Reserva 2014
13%
Tempranillo 85%, Garnacha 15%
Color: clear, transparent garnet. Perfectly red – no hint of purple or brown hues. A very elegant wine.
Nose: sweetness of fresh pastries combined with vanilla, white raisins, and a distinct condensed milk aroma. Unfortunately, it is very, very weak and muted. You have to imagine it.
Taste: *fresh, quite "moist," not tannic, and not acidic. It gently tingles on the tongue, like soda. Combined with the dominant fruity-herbal notes, this evokes associations with lemonade... Again, very soft, no hint of alcohol, but it lacks saturation. The bouquet features pear, white currant, pine needles, some vague herbal and spicy notes, but all of this is indistinct, "phantom-like," and requires great concentration to detect. Otherwise, it's just lemonade.
Finish: medium intensity, apple-coriander. Pleasant, unexpectedly bright after the nose and taste, but very short-lived.
Conclusion: a pleasant wine, more feminine than masculine, very drinkable, with an unusual bouquet. Unfortunately, it is very, very pale. After finishing a glass, you wonder: "Was there even wine? Maybe there wasn't any wine at all?" – it is so unremarkable. A wine that should simply be drunk, and not overly scrutinized. You can smoke while drinking it, or you can drink a bottle without any snacks in half an hour. Perhaps this is its best use. But it is definitely worth its price (less than 600).
