Bodegas Borsao

2000 BORSAO Campo de Boria, Spain This is an impressive, strong red wine. There are not too many Spanish wines available in the US, and they mostly come from Rioja, the "Napa Valley" of Spain. The non-Rioja wines are lesser known but equally interesting. Made from 70% garnacha, a grape rich in pigment that gives intense color and full body to the wine. It is quite thick and deep ruby, and so rich in pigment that can blacken your lips. The scent is as intense but it is persistent, and has a variety of succulent fruity notes. There is prune, raspberry, ripe cherry, but one can also feel the red rose underneath. In the mouth it has the freshness of a young wine, but it is quite warm and tasty, and has strong body and impressive tannins. It should age well and be good for at least ten years. The after taste is quite rich and persistent in the mouth.                                              10/21/01                Laura
